Employment Law Violations
Although there are certain types of jobs where the workers are expected to have most of their own tools — carpenters and plumbers, for example — in most positions, California law prohibits employers from making their workers pay for their own tools and equipment. Some of the common things that employers try to make their workers pay for include:
- Uniforms: In many positions, you should not be required to pay for your work uniforms.
- Sales samples: As a general rule, salespeople should not be required to pay for the samples they use to sell the products.
- Tools of the trade: In most jobs, you should not be required to purchase the tools of your trade, especially if they are unique to the company for which you are working and you will not otherwise have any use for those tools.
- Training: You should not be made to pay for the training required to sell your company's unique products. When a company wants you to pay for this training, or does not pay you for this training, it might be in violation of California employment law.
Class-Action Litigation
Most of the time when we come across violations like this, it is not a one-time isolated incident; it is a blanket violation to all of a company's employees. If this is the case, we can bring together all of the employees in this circumstance and bring a class-action lawsuit. This will increase our strength and vastly improve our chances of a substantial money damage award. We have the experience to take on a complicated class-action on your behalf, to help you get the compensation you need.
