Although the Fair Labor Standards Act has federal jurisdiction, the California Labor Code specifies rule and regulations that are focused on the Golden State. Because both pieces of legislation are very important, it is imperative that Californian employers and employees carefully follow the laws outlined in these documents.

There are provisions in the California Labor Code that address employment regulation and supervision, worker’s compensation and insurance, employment relations, and safety in employment. Some of the laws in these divisions are specific to California and require the experience of California attorneys to effectively understand and argue cases.

If you are contemplating a lawsuit based on the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and are also a resident of California, it is important to be educated on the similarities and differences of federal and state legislation. An experienced attorney can help you determine the course of legal action to take with your case. An understanding lawyer can help you fight for justice and obtain the compensation you deserve.
