Wage & Hour Litigation

Proper pay stands as the bedrock of workplace relationships yet countless employers skirt wage laws. Our litigation team battles businesses that dodge federal and state labor requirements through overtime dodges minimum wage tricks and worker misclassification schemes.

Employers craft clever payment evasion strategies. Many mislabel staff as contractors to skip overtime pay. Others demand unpaid work alter timesheets or skip required breaks. Such tactics steal earned wages while creating unfair market advantages.

FLSA and New York State Labor Law mandate clear payment rules. Businesses must meet minimum wage standards track hours accurately and pay proper overtime. Many employers flout these rules hiding behind false ignorance while banking stolen wages.

Wage theft flourishes through overtime violations. Companies refuse time-and-half pay for 40+ hour weeks average hours improperly or pay regular rates for extra time. These illegal moves deny workers their rightful earnings and violate federal statutes.

Pay violations hit hard across industries. Some bosses cut below minimum wage take illegal deductions or push off-the-clock work. Restaurant staff battle tip theft and unlawful pooling schemes that slash their take-home pay.

Worker misclassification schemes run rampant. Businesses stamp “independent contractor” labels on true employees dodging overtime and benefit obligations. Similar tricks mislabel workers as “exempt” to escape overtime rules.

Our legal team dissects payroll records spots violations and tallies stolen wages. This focused strategy recovers all due compensation from overtime to spread-of-hours pay plus statutory penalties.

Time limits restrict wage claims. Fast action keeps evidence fresh and maintains recovery options. Labor laws often multiply damages and add attorney fees amplifying employer penalties.
