Compensation Cases We Take On

Compensation disputes include disagreements over wages, commissions, bonuses, or severance. In many cases, there is often a misunderstanding between the employer and employee. In other instances, the company engages in unfair or unethical business practices. Regardless of your reason for not getting paid, our legal team will investigate your claim and fight for fair pay on your behalf.

We Handle Complex Breach of Contract Cases

A breach of contract occurs when your employer or other party fails to keep their contractual agreement as outlined in the contract.

For instance, an employer agrees to pay you a pre-determined wage for a job description or hours worked. You agree to the terms and sign a contract. However, they change your pay rate after you begin work. Or, they alter your workload or hours without adjusting your pay. If so, you may be entitled to file a claim against them for violating the terms of the contract if they refuse to correct the mistake.

If you find yourself in this situation, knowing your rights and how to move forward legally is important. Dhillon Law Group can help you gather evidence, such as the employment contract, pay stubs, or hours logged. We can communicate with your employer to resolve the issue. If necessary, we can also take your case to court and guide you through the legal process so that you receive fair compensation.

How We Help You With Your Case

Compensation disputes and breach of contract cases are often complex. Navigating the legal system alone can be intimidating and often leads to mistakes that hurt your case. Plus, your employer may have more resources for legal representation. It can feel like you’re back is up against the wall dealing with a major corporation.

Our employment lawyers leverage your claim by providing full legal support and representation under the banner of employee advocacy. We are committed to fighting for fair employment practices in the workplace. Here’s what we do to help you receive fair compensation:

We work closely with you to guide you through litigation from the initial consultation until the matter is resolved.

Gather Documents and Evidence

We investigate your case to determine the facts. We use evidence such as pay stubs, logged hours, contracts, and correspondence to pinpoint how your employer broke the contract or failed to pay proper compensation.

Engage With All Parties on Your Behalf

Once you file your claim, you’ll never be in a position to incriminate yourself. We engage with your employer, witnesses, the court, and other parties on your behalf. We know how to communicate with employers and advocate for you to protect your rights.

Take Your Case to Court

If your employer does not resolve the issue or refuses to pay, you may have the option to take your case to court. If so, we’ll prepare your case and represent you in court. We’ll keep fighting until you get the best possible outcome for your case.

Frequently Asked Questions About Compensation Disputes

What qualifies as a breach of contract?

A breach occurs when your employer fails to fulfill the terms of your employment agreement. It can include not paying your agreed salary, denying promised benefits, or changing job duties without consent.

How long do I have to file a claim?

The time limit, or statute of limitations, varies by state and the type of claim you file. Generally, you have 2-3 years for breach of contract cases. Consult your employment attorney to learn the statute of limitations in your state.

What evidence do I need for my case?

Gather your employment contract, pay stubs, emails, and any other documents related to your job. Keep a detailed record of incidents or conversations about the dispute. Save all correspondence with your employer.

Can I be fired for filing a complaint?

It’s illegal for employers to retaliate against you for filing a valid complaint. You may have a stronger case if you’re fired after reporting a breach.

How much compensation can I expect?

Compensation depends on your specific case and losses. You may receive back pay, damages for breach of contract, or reinstatement to your position. Your employment attorney can help estimate potential compensation based on your situation.

Will I have to go to court?

Many employment disputes are settled through negotiation or mediation out of court. However, your case may go to trial if you and your employer cannot reach a settlement.

How long does the process usually take?

The timeline varies, but most cases take several months to a year. Simple disputes may be resolved quickly through negotiation. Complex cases that go to trial can take longer.

Can I keep working during the dispute?

You can usually continue working while pursuing a claim unless the situation is unbearable. However, be aware that this may create tension in the workplace.

What if my employer countersues?

Employers sometimes file counterclaims to pressure employees into dropping their case. Don’t let this intimidate you. A good attorney can help defend against baseless countersuits while pursuing your claim.

How do I choose the right attorney?

Look for an attorney with experience in employment law and breach of contract cases. Ask about their success rate and approach to cases like yours. Choose someone you trust and feel comfortable working with.
