California has some of the most intricate wage and hour laws of any state.   Hour and wage errors continue to cause employers to spend large amounts of money in the form of attorney fees, jury verdicts, and settlements. Over the past few years, hour and wage law cases have been appearing on a regular basis in courtrooms across the state. 

While there is no doubt that complying with California wage and labor laws can be difficult, it can and should be done. If your employer is not abiding by California wage and hour labor laws, a skilled Orange County employment attorney can seek the justice and compensation you deserve.

Federal and state laws differ on wage and hour requirements
Some of the reasons for the complexities involved in understanding wage hours laws in California are due to a divergence in state and the federal laws. Wage and hour laws apply to issues such as the following:

 Termination requirements
 Overtime
 Regularity of payments
 Minimum wage
 The method of payment
 Meal or break period
 Vacation pay requirements
 Overtime
 New employee reporting
 Deductions from compensation

In each of these cases, CA wage and hour laws can differ significantly from the federal ones. Since California has arguably the most comprehensive labor and wage laws in the country.  Contact the Carter Law Firm and speak with an employment attorney in Orange County who knows the ins and outs of the laws and who can be vital to a successful outcome.
