Brad S Kane
Kane Law Firm understands your problem is more than a legal transaction
Brad S. Kane has practiced law for more than twenty years in California, Washington, and Alaska. After a decade-long career in “Big Law,” in 2001 Mr. Kane started the Kane Law Firm, a Los Angeles-based practice. Mr. Kane takes a unique, humanistic approach with clients, always keeping the client engaged in their case and counseling clients toward fair and reasonable solutions to often emotional and complex problems.
The Kane Law Firm follows Mr. Kane’s interdisciplinary approach to law and avoids the often myopic “over-specialization” or one-sided thinking caused by only representing one side to a particular kind of dispute. For example, Mr. Kane regularly counsels and represents small and medium sized employers on the handling of employee disputes, while also representing aggrieved employees with serious claims against their own employers.
As a result, Mr. Kane is constantly searching for outside the box solutions to litigation and negotiations in areas spanning employment law, entertainment, insurance coverage, as well as business and corporation litigation. In fact, Mr. Kane has a reputation amongst his associates and colleagues of “taking cases no one else would take” and turning them into gold.
Finally, Mr. Kane has an unshakable faith in our justice system derived from his experience clerking for Alaska Supreme Court Chief Justice Jay A. Rabinowitz, his experience as a lawyer, and serving over 250 times as a Judge Pro Tem. To Mr. Kane, the judicial system holds a unique ability to shape a person’s world view and how people see themselves. Mr. Kane earned his J.D. from Hastings College of the Law and his B.A. in history from University of California Los Angeles.

- Interview on Portugal's law penalizing employers for contacting employees outside of office hours
- Q. I am a salaried administrative employee in California. My employer is a small business (fewer than 10 employees).
- A: Under Labor Code 515(a), to be exempt executive, administrative, and professional employees must earn "a monthly salary equivalent to no less than two times the STATE minimum wage for full-time employment."
The 2024 California state minimum wage is $16.00/hour, which means you must earn at least $32 per hour for 49 hours per week or a monthly salary of over $5,546.67 per month.
The exemption test applies per pay period, so an annual bonus pulling you over the required annual salary of $66,560 would only make you potentially exempt during the pay period you received the bonus.
- Q. Can minority shareholder sue the company for unpaid wages?
- A: You are entitled to be paid minimum wage for all hours worked plus an equal amount of liquidated damages.
Thus, you are actually entitled to twice the minimum wage for all hours worked plus other penalties.
No lawyer can meaningfully address your contractual rights without reading the agreement.
You should consult a lawyer offline to protect the attorney client privilege.
- Q. Is getting paid 30 min of overtime the same as a meal premium for no lunch at work in CA?
- A: No.
A meal premium is equal to 1 hour of your regular rate.
30 minutes of overtime is equal to 45 minute of your regular rate (or 1.5 times your regular rate). Thus, you would be shorted 15 minutes at your regular rate.
