Call <strong>1-888-442-2642<\/strong>.    <\/p>\n<p>    What employment rights are most frequently violated in California?<br \/>\n    Based on the cases we handle, the most common are: unpaid overtime (especially in restaurants, construction, and domestic work), insufficient minimum wage, tip theft, racial and national origin discrimination, sexual harassment, discriminatory or retaliatory terminations, and misclassification as an independent contractor. If any of these situations resonate with your experience, call <strong>1-888-442-2642<\/strong>.

Additionally, in cases of active retaliation, acting soon can protect you from additional negative actions.

Call <strong>1-888-442-2642<\/strong>.   <\/p>\n<p>    How does a worker know if their rights are being violated?<br \/>\n    The most common signs include: receiving less than minimum wage, not receiving overtime pay after 8 hours daily, your employer keeping your tips, not having 10-minute breaks or 30-minute meal periods, being treated differently because of your race, gender, pregnancy, or language, having been fired right after exercising a protected right, or being called a contractor when in reality the employer controls you as an employee.
