How Do Some Employers Violate Wage And Hour Laws?
Workers must be paid at least the minimum wage and receive time and a half when they work overtime. However, some employers use tricks to avoid paying employees what they are owed. Here are some common tactics to underpay workers:
- Calculating overtime pay incorrectly
- Classifying nonexempt workers as exempt
- Paying less than the minimum wage
- Not counting all 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 receive fair wages and your employer retaliates, 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 the compensation you deserve under state and federal laws.
