Our San Jose Misclassification & Exempt/Hourly Lawyer Protects Your Rights In Dealing With Employers
Wrongly classifying workers saves businesses money but can have serious financial consequences for the people they employ. At Venardi Zurada LLP, we protect your rights and help you get the wages and benefits you are owed.
Our experienced San Jose misclassification and exempt/hourly lawyer provides the comprehensive client support and professional representation you need to address the situation. We hold employers accountable for misclassifying workers, which often happens in one of two ways:
- Exempt vs. Non-Exempt Employee Misclassification: Employers wrongly classify workers as exempt employees to avoid paying minimum wage, meal and rest breaks, overtime, and other benefits as required under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
- Independent Contractor Misclassification: Employers may classify employees as independent contractors to avoid payroll taxes, overtime, workers’ compensation, and insurance benefits. However, under California’s strict AB 5 law, you may be misclassified if you lack control over your work schedule, tasks performed on the job, or the kind of tools you use.

When employers misclassify workers, it can cause heavy financial losses. Unfortunately, you may have little success addressing the problem alone and could even face retaliation for speaking up.

- Reviewing your case, identifying abuses on the part of employers, and advising you on your rights under state and federal laws;
