Common Industry Violators - Restaurants/Hospitality

In our experience, some businesses and industries are more prone to violate California's labor and employment laws than others. If you are, or used to be, employed in one of the following industries, please read further to see if you may have legal claims against your employer.

Restaurants/Hospitality

Employees are the life-blood of both the restaurant and the hospitality industries. These employees work long, hard hours, and are expected to always provide exceptional customer service. Yet, many of these employers do not treat their employees as well as they should. Sometimes they fail to provide proper meal breaks or rest breaks. Sometimes they do not pay overtime when it's required, or fail to pay reporting time. Sometimes these employers have unlawful tip pooling policies.

  • Forcing employees to work off the clock without proper pay.
  • Not paying for all hours worked, such as shift meetings, drive time and training in violation of minimum wage, overtime and double time laws.
  • Not providing an uninterrupted 30 minute meal period or 10 minute rest periods.
  • Not reimbursing employees for expenses incurred for the benefit of the employer, such as business use of personal vehicles, the costs of providing or maintain hand tools, or use of private cell phones.
  • Not providing detailed accurate wage statements.
  • Not providing at least 1/2 day's wages when requiring the employee to show up for work – also called reporting time pay.
