Bonus and Payment Dispute Lawyers

California Law Firm Helping Employees in Bonus and Payment Disputes

Disputes over the nature of an unpaid bonus can arise when there’s ambiguity around certain key terms of the agreement or if there is a dispute whether the bonus is discretionary or non-discretionary (earned).

For example disputes we can help you with, include but are not limited to, when:

• The bonus was orally promised

• The bonus was implied rather than explicitly expressed

• The bonus amount wasn’t clearly set, but was to be calculated as a variable based on subjective factors related to the performance of an individual employee/team/etc.

• When the amount of a promised payment for a bonus agreement is disputed

• When an employer denies that a past regularly given non-discretionary bonus should apply after you earned it but before you were paid it.

• When an oral agreement was made In the absence of a written agreement.

Moreover, employers generally can’t withhold or deduct wages that an employee has earned as legitimate compensation for their work, meaning they’re responsible for paying out all of your earned wages, including your non-discretionary bonus once earned.

Kluft Law, P.C. can help you if your employer is withholding your bonusses or is paying you short for the actual wages you have legally earned. Don’t go it alone, hire an attorney you can trust.
