Wage and Hour Offenses
Employers in the U.S. are legally required to comply with federal wage and hour regulations. Some employers attempt to defraud their employees of the hard-earned wages that they are rightfully owed by ignoring these laws. When an employer commits fraud to save money, a worker could lose significant income over the course months or years. If you suspect that your company has neglected to pay you your full wages or has asked you to complete extra work without overtime compensation, you may be able to join a class action lawsuit.
Types of Wage and Hour Violations
Federal laws governing wage levels and hour limits are designed to protect workers from mistreatment. Companies that violate these laws may be held legally accountable. They may owe workers money for improper treatment or inadequate compensation and they may also be fined for breaking the law.
Some examples of wage and hour violations include:
- Making employees work off of the clock
- Denying overtime pay when it is owed
- Reducing hours logged on time cards to avoid paying overtime
- Mis-classifying a worker as exempt from overtime
- Including non-service workers or managerial staff in tip pools
