Fighting for Workers’ Rights

Our services to combat wage theft across California

  • Need Help Collecting Unpaid Wages?

    Judgment Enforcement

    If a court or the California Labor Commissioner ruled in your favor for unpaid wages, we can assist you in understanding your rights, taking appropriate action, and evaluating your chances of recovering the money you're owed. While a judgment confirms your right to payment, it doesn't guarantee you'll receive the funds. Let us help you navigate the process.

  • Wage Liens for Construction Workers

    Protect Your Earnings

    If you're a construction worker who hasn't been paid for your labor, we can help you determine if you qualify for a mechanic's lien. This special legal tool can be used under specific circumstances to secure payment for your wages. Let us guide you through the process.

  • Education and Prevention

    Learn How to Protect Your Wages

    WJC offers training and resources to help workers and their supporting organizations understand wage theft. We provide information on how to minimize the risk of unpaid wages and prepare for action if faced with this issue.

  • Outreach and Mobile Clinics

    Bringing Legal Aid to You

    We believe all workers deserve to know their rights and have access to support when faced with unpaid wages. WJC conducts outreach at day labor sites throughout Southern California and offers mobile clinics in select locations to provide workers with direct legal advice.

    Interested in hosting a clinic or having WJC visit your area? Contact us today.

  • Workplace Monitoring

    Ensuring Compliance

    If you suspect your workplace is violating wage and hour laws or is subject to monitoring due to past violations, WJC can help. We can assess your employer's practices to determine if they comply with labor regulations.

Important Notes:

We cannot guarantee successful recovery.

Our services are limited. We prioritize assisting individuals who meet the definition of "indigent person" under California law, including those with incomes at or below 200% of the federal poverty level.

We do not inquire about immigration status.
