Wage & Hour and Misclassification Litigation
The firm seeks to ensure employees receive all wages they have legally earned, addressing issues from overtime violations to complex misclassification schemes that deprive workers of their rightful earnings.
Wage & Hour Litigation
Although federal and state laws establish clear requirements for worker compensation, employers frequently violate them through a number of illegal practices such as requiring workers to work “off the clock” without paying overtime, improperly calculating overtime rates, illegally deducting from paychecks, failing to reimburse necessary business expenses, neglecting to provide required breaks, shorting hours on time records, and withholding final paychecks.
Misclassification
Misclassification occurs when employees incorrectly designate workers as independent contractors rather than employees, exempt employees when they should be non-exempt, or salaried workers (e.g., supervisors) to avoid overtime obligations. When workers are misclassified, they may lose access to critical protections and benefits including overtime compensation, protection under anti-discrimination laws, workers’ compensation coverage, minimum wage guarantees, unemployment insurance, employer-provided benefits, and Family and Medical Leave Act rights.
