Choose the Best Path Forward When Your Workplace Rights are Violated
Employees often attempt to seek justice regarding their employers’ unfair practices through the California Labor Board, which handles claims for unpaid wages & overtime, meal & rest period violations, and other violations of employees’ rights.
Unfortunately, the Labor Board is not always capable of providing the compensation you deserve, which could include civil penalties and other damages that are outside of the scope of Labor Board claims.
Before you pursue a California Labor Board claim, it is necessary to understand what assistance they may or may not be able to provide in your circumstances. And the best way to do that is with knowledgeable support and guidance from the attorneys at Baker Law Group, LLP.

How To Get Started
Why should I hire an attorney for my California Labor Board claim instead of handling it myself?
Like many government entities throughout the state of California, the California Labor Board has experienced severe budget cuts, and there are now fewer Labor Board employees working on many more cases at a time.
The impact of these budget cuts is that claims are often being processed much slower, and claimants may even have difficulty speaking to a Labor Board employee regarding their claim.
In contrast, when you hire Baker Law Group, LLP, to pursue a claim for unpaid wages, you can be sure that your attorney is pursuing the case aggressively and will provide status updates whenever you ask for them.
Is there a statute of limitations on California Labor Board claims?
The California Labor Board will only seek to enforce overtime wages for three years back from the filing of your claim due to a statute of limitations.
In contrast, a California employment attorney will generally pursue your unpaid wages going back four years from the filing of your claim under the California Business & Professions Code Section 17200. This generally allows the employee to recover one additional year’s worth of unpaid overtime.
