Representing Workers in Wage and Hour Claims
Employers will frequently try to get the most value for their labor dollars, sometimes classifying workers incorrectly to maximize overtime and other times simply not paying for time considered to be work. When there are unlawful differences between your hours worked and compensation paid by an employer then you may be eligible to pursue a wage and hour claim against your employer.
