Wage & Hour Violations in San Diego


California law gives employees strong protections when it comes to pay and working conditions, yet wage and hour violations remain common. At Esparza Law Office, we represent employees throughout Southern California who have not been paid properly or have been treated unfairly at work. Our goal is to help workers understand their rights and take action to recover the compensation they are owed.


We assist employees with wage and hour matters involving:



  • Unpaid overtime and failure to pay minimum wage
  • Missed, shortened, or interrupted meal and rest breaks
  • Employee misclassification (independent contractor vs. employee)
  • Off-the-clock work and unpaid wages
  • Final pay violations after termination or resignation
  • Commission and bonus disputes
  • Individual claims, representative actions, and class actions


If you believe your employer has failed to pay you properly, contact Esparza Law Office to discuss your situation and learn how we may be able to assist you.
