Too many employers respond to the pressure of rising costs and tight competition by taking advantage of their employees through violations of the wage and hour laws. We can examine your situation and advise you about your claims under any of the following circumstances:
- Failure to pay the minimum wage under Pennsylvania or federal law
- Miscalculation of overtime payments
- Misclassification of employees as exempt from overtime pay requirements
- Underpayment for holidays, vacations or shift differentials
- Requiring employees to work without pay through meal breaks or rest periods
- Uncompensated work at the beginning or end of shifts for cleanup or changing into uniforms or safety gear
- Refusing to pay foreign nationals during training periods
- Improper practices concerning sales commissions and chargebacks
Although individual violations of wage and hour laws might not appear to be worth much, they can add up over a period of time. You might also be eligible for double damages and attorney's fees.
Class-Action Wage and Hour Cases - How We can Help You
In larger companies, your own wage and hour claims are likely to be similar to those of many fellow workers. Because of our experience and technological capacity, we are fully capable of representing a large plaintiff class in wage and hour litigation against major corporations.
Foreign workers on Work Visas and less-educated employees are especially vulnerable to wage and hour violations on the part of their employers. Very often, management assumes that the workers will be reluctant to present their claims for fear of losing their jobs. Our attorneys can advise you not only about your right to damages, but also about your right to be free from employer retaliation.
