Santa Clara County
Do I have a case against my San Jose employer?
The honest answer
If your San Jose employer shorted your pay, mislabeled your role, or punished you for speaking up, quite possibly. Santa Clara County jobs range from chip fabs and startups to the service work that keeps the valley running — and both ends see misclassification, unpaid overtime, and quiet retaliation. San Jose also sets a local minimum wage above the state's. Say what happened; we'll organize it for an attorney's honest read.
