Unpaid Wages

unpaid wages

Your employer is required to pay you for all work that you have performed at the rate that you negotiate and they must pay you in accordance with federal and state law.

The federal Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) and many state laws require employers to (1) pay employees a minimum wage per hour and (2) pay employees overtime wages for hours worked in excess of forty hours in a workweek. Our employment lawyers have substantial experience bringing claims for unpaid minimum wages and overtime under both federal and state laws.

Further, your employer must pay all earned compensation that it has agreed to pay. Whether your employer fails to pay you all commissions that you have earned or if you were forced to work off-the-clock, you may be able to bring claims to enforce your agreement with your employer.
