We’ll draw on our litigation experience and knowledge of federal and state employment laws to fight for you.
Recognizing Wage Theft and Workplace Violations
Wage theft is unfortunately common. You might have grounds for a lawsuit if you suspect your employer committed wage and hour violations, such as:
- Unpaid work: Failure to pay you at least minimum wage for all of your work hours or failing to make scheduled payments on time.
- Unpaid overtime: Refusing to pay time-and-a-half for hours worked beyond 40 in a week.
- Working off-the-clock: Making you work before punching in, after punching out or during unpaid breaks.
- Unpaid training: Not compensating you for mandatory training sessions.
Wage theft can also occur alongside other illegal actions, and we can help you handle cases involving wrongful termination, FMLA discrimination and other employment claims.
What Your Wage Claim Could Be Worth
If you file a successful lawsuit against your employer, you may be eligible for unpaid wages and interest, legal costs and penalties. The unpaid wages owed could include the exact difference owed to you, plus potential interest or even liquidated damages, up to twice your owed amount in some cases.
In terms of legal costs, one benefit is that in many successful wage claims, courts might order the employer to cover your attorney’s fees. And if your employer has violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) or another law, the court could impose additional penalties for the violation.
