Wage And Hour Violation Types
Common tactics used by employers to underpay their workers include:
•Calculating overtime pay incorrectly
•Classifying nonexempt employees as exempt
•Paying less than the minimum wage
•Not counting all of your work time
•Pressuring employees to work off the clock
These actions may violate the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) or the New Jersey State Wage and Hour Law. If you assert your right to fair wages and are retaliated against by your employer, you can recover damages under the Conscientious Employee Protection Act or New Jersey doctrine. Our employment lawyers have the skill and experience to protect your rights and get you the compensation you deserve under state and federal law.
Act Now – Understanding The Look-Back Period
There is a time limit on your right to collect unpaid wages and overtime. Under the FLSA, you can file a lawsuit for unpaid overtime going back two years prior to the complaint. There are some exceptions, but generally speaking, even if you can prove you were not paid proper overtime going back many years, you can only collect for the two-year period. It benefits you to act quickly.
