Wage & Overtime Claims
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) has been protecting employees since 1937. Under its two central provisions — the minimum wage requirement and the overtime provision — employers are obligated to pay required wages and, for non-exempt employees, pay overtime when they work for more than 40 hours in a week. We are qualified to determine if you have a wage, hour or overtime claim against your employer.
Wage disputes can range from simple classification errors to complex and time-consuming cases where employers have deliberately violated the law. I will clearly and precisely explain your employment rights under Conneticut law and federal law. We have recovered earnings and other damages for clients in actions related to:
- Misclassification of employees as exempt from wage and hour laws
- Unpaid overtime and sick days
- Violation of minimum wage laws
- Unpaid lunch and rest periods in violation of the law
- Independent contractor rights
- Late pay
- Unpaid reimbursement for work-related expenses
- Improper deductions
