Commonly Asked Questions

What should I do if I believe my employer is not paying me the correct wages?

If you suspect that your employer is not paying you the correct wages, the first step is to gather all relevant documentation, including pay stubs, time sheets, and any correspondence related to your employment. It's important to understand your rights under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and California wage laws. You can then consult with a qualified attorney who can help you assess your situation and determine if you have a valid claim for unpaid wages or overtime. The Wheeler Law Firm, APC, serving Claremont and surrounding areas, is dedicated to helping employees navigate these complex issues and recover the wages they are owed.

How can I tell if I am classified correctly as an employee or independent contractor?

Determining whether you are classified as an employee or an independent contractor can be complex and depends on various factors, including the level of control your employer has over your work. Employees typically have set hours, receive benefits, and are subject to employer control, while independent contractors have more autonomy over how they complete their work. If you believe you have been misclassified, it is crucial to seek legal advice. The attorneys at The Wheeler Law Firm, APC, can help you understand your classification and the implications it has on your wage rights in Claremont and throughout California.
