Wage Violations against Computer and IT Employees
Our Firm is currently investigating widespread wage violations by many companies regarding their wage policies for computer and IT employees. There are very strict provisions under the FLSA explaining which computer and IT employees are not entitled to overtime and many companies violate these rules. For example, computer employees must be paid at least $27.63 per hour or may be paid a salary of $455 per week and must work in software design, systems analysis, or similar areas to be exempt from federal wage protections. If you are a computer or IT employee and believe your wage rights have been violated or would like more information about this investigation, please contact us at 602-274-1100 or 800-847-9094 for a free consultation.

California Retailers Must Provide Seats to Employees
Our Firm is currently investigating violations by retailers in California who fail to provide seats to cashiers and certain other employees. Retail and other mercantile businesses in California are required to provide employees with suitable seats if the nature of their work reasonably allows. Even if the nature of the work requires standing, employers in California should provide seats close to the work area for employees to use when it does not reasonably interfere with the performance of their duties. Employees in California denied adequate seating at work may be entitled to monetary compensation and payment of their attorneys’ fees for this violation of their rights at work.
