Need To Know Employment Issues

Get lawyer help now for many of the following issues.

Various laws offer protection for corporate officers that are discriminated in the workplace. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Title VII, and various federal laws and regulations and specific laws in your state exist to protect all employees against discrimination of all types. This includes gender, race, age, disability, national origin, pregnancy, and religion.


Qui Tam Actions can be enforced under the federal False Claims Act and are based on an individual who informs the law officials about a law violation. These regulations typically permit an eligible informant to receive a portion of any penalty and/or recovery imposed upon an individual or group of people that violates the law.

Unpaid Wages

State and federal overtime regulations clearly enforce the fact that hourly employees who put in more than 40 hours a week are qualified for overtime pay. Salaried employees, also, may be qualified to receive overtime compensation if they can prove that they work off-the-clock hours to meet their company's demands, or have been improperly categorized as exempt from overtime regulations.

Do you or a loved one have additional legal questions regarding unpaid wages? This is an act that is illegal and if proven, can lead to an employment lawsuit. Our employment law attorneys are here to help. Contact an employment lawyer in your area today to learn more about unpaid wages.

Issues relating to unpaid wages can include some of the following:

  • Being expected to work off the clock
  • Misclassification of your job position as exempt
  • Illegal payment deductions
  • Neglecting to correctly document wages and hours
  • Not getting paid at all for any given work week(s)
  • Swapping extra hours for vacation or time off at a later date
  • Missing breaks and meals, or not getting compensated for a meal break

Don't be apprehensive about stepping forward about unpaid wages. Our lawyers understand that employees are frequently nervous about the possibility of retaliation for coming forward to complain about and take a stand regarding unpaid wages or overtime. It is important not to be because the law is on your side in this type of situation. Companies who retaliate against a worker for seeking to enforce wage and hour regulations are subject to the strictest monetary consequences. Additionally, workers can receive extra compensation for being the initiator of a class action unpaid wages claim. It is important to take action if your employer is clearly not paying you the wages you have earned.

Would you like to know more about unpaid wages? Do you believe your rights were violated, rights that are protected by state and federal laws? Our employment lawyers are here to help. Contact an employment law attorney near you today for more information regarding unpaid wages.

Employers frequently find innovative methods to evade the expense of overtime compensation.
