Employment Law Matters the Firm Handles
Wage and Hour Violations
California wage-and-hour laws provide important protections for employees, but violations still occur in many workplaces. Aramayo & Ho helps employees pursue claims involving unpaid wages, overtime violations, payroll disputes, and related labor law issues.
Unpaid Overtime

Meal and Rest Break Violations
California employees are entitled to certain meal and rest breaks during the workday. When employers fail to provide legally required breaks or pressure employees to skip them, workers may have grounds for compensation and labor law claims.

Some workers may be improperly classified as exempt employees or independent contractors, affecting overtime eligibility and labor protections. The firm helps employees evaluate whether classification practices may violate California labor laws.
