San Francisco Labor Lawyer
Helping Employees Protect Their Rights
If you’re an employee in California, you have a number of specific legal rights. At the federal level, the Fair Labor Standards Act governs wages, hours, and overtime. Those working in California have additional protection thanks to state labor and employment law. Nevertheless, some California employers may try to underpay you through various ruses or cheat you out of your overtime. If you believe you are being cheated or underpaid by an employer anywhere in northern California, call our experienced team.
At Geonetta & Frucht, our San Francisco labor attorney can help employees understand their rights in the workplace and then fight aggressively to protect them. If we cannot reach a settlement for you through negotiation, we will take the employer to court. With our more than fifty combined years of legal experience, our employment lawyers can ensure that employers pay you properly.

Labor and Employment Law Matters
Dishonest employers may change your time sheet or direct you to work off the clock; refuse to give breaks or lunches, or deduct those hours even if you worked; or pay you straight time for overtime hours. These are all signs that an employer is out to cheat you. Employers who violate wage and hour regulations may be ordered by the court to pay you additional penalties.
