Wage and Hour Claims
Wage and hour cases involve any situation in which employees believe they were either not compensated at all or not sufficiently paid for their work. A wage dispute may involve an employer refusing to pay overtime wages. It may involve employees claiming they were forced to work off the clock, or not paid the federal or State’s minimum wage. These claims may also involve failure to pay commissions to sales people. If you are involved in any type of dispute involving your pay, we can help.

Retaliation

We provide representation to individuals who have experienced retaliation on the job or employers who are accused of retaliating against an employee.
