Class action lawsuits are designed to represent an entire class of individuals at once. In a class action suit, a named plaintiff represents the members of the suit. Class action lawsuits are particularly well suited for employment law cases. Employees who have been denied their rightful wages may join together in a class action suit against a singular employer in an effort to right the wrongs against them. If you are part of a group that has been denied employee benefits, and/or if you are a protected class, a class action suit may be a viable option to obtain the desired results of your claim. Lauby, Mankin & Lauby LLP offers a free initial consultation to discuss the class action option for your Southern California employment claim.

Class Action Lawsuits for Protected Classes in the Workplace:

- Workplace discrimination allegations
- Hostile work environment
- Wrongful termination of numerous employees
- Pay disputes regarding overtime wages
- Failure to provide proper wage statements
- Meal and rest breaks
- Business expense reimbursement
- Unpaid off the clock hours
- Sexual Harassment
- And many other employment class action cases in Orange County & Inland Empire
