If you file a California labor board claim, you may not be able to require your employer to provide the evidence you need to prove the violation occurred.

Even if you win at the labor commissioner, your employer may appeal the decision to a trial court, in which case you would have to essentially win your case twice before you would be entitled to any recovery.

The statute of limitations for labor board cases for unpaid wages generally tops out at 3 years, whereas an attorney can often extend many claims to 4 years. This can allow you to recover one additional year’s worth of unpaid wages & overtime.

However, in some cases the size of your claim may be too small to justify the time and expense of hiring an attorney. In these situations, it is often best to file with the labor board directly. When you call for a free case evaluation, we will discuss the individual circumstances of your case and help you make the best decision possible on how to recover the money you are owed.
