Ensuring That You Are Paid For Your Work in Los Angeles


Many California employers do not know the law when it comes to issues like payment and overtime andcommissions. If your employer is not paying you all of the compensation you are entitled to, you have the right to file a claim against your employer. You may also be entitled to attorney fees and other damages.
