Wage Litigation

PRACTICE AREAS

Unpaid Wages/Wage Theft

As an employee you have a right to be paid for all the work you perform for your employer. Often employers cut corners and don’t appropriately pay employees for “pre-shift” work or “traveling from the office to the job site.” Employers often don’t pay for “lunch breaks” but then ask the employee to work through a portion, or all, of their lunch.

Overtime is another frequent issue. Employers owe employees set compensation once they work more than a certain number of hours, but often times the employer doesnt compensate their employees fairly. All of these examples are considered “wage theft” and if you are the victim, you have substantial rights that can be enforced to recover your loss and potentially additional amounts aimed at ensuring your employer changes their practices.

Recovering unpaid wages and overtime wages for employees who were deprived of wages through the employer’s covert organizational policies of automatically deducting time from the employees’ timesheets.

Recovering overtime wages for an individual who was deprived of his overtime rate – time and a half – because he received a salary from his employer.

Recovering wages for an individual who was misclassified as an independent contractor and was therefore both improperly forced to pay employment taxes and denied overtime wages.

Recovering accrued wages owed to an employee after he was wrongfully terminated and subsequently denied his final paycheck.

Areas of Expertise

Disability Discrimination

At times, employees have tremendous challenges to overcome in order to perform their work. This could be a physical handicap (such as a disease, syndrome, or medical condition) or it can be a mental health issue/illness, such as depression or anxiety

Discrimination and Retaliation

Your employer has absolutely no right to ever discriminate against you based upon who you are. At the core of human decency is the expectation that your actual or perceived race, sex, national origin, religion, sexual preference/orientation, or any other characteristic will never cause you to be treated differently.

Sexual Harassment

An employer owes their employees a workplace that is free from sexual harassment. No one is required to tolerate unwanted sexual advances while they are performing their job duties. Falling victim to touching, uncomfortable or aggressive flirtation, jokes, texts, emails and phone calls that serve no legitimate business purpose are all considered forms of sexual harassment.
