In many situations, the problem with wage and hour violations begins with employee misclassification. People entitled to overtime for hours exceeding 40 hours in a week are often misclassified as exempt from overtime pay. Workers performing as full-time employees are misclassified as independent contractors. Once we expose these errors and violations, a wide range of rights to additional compensation starts to come into focus, and the back pay you recover can be substantial.

Examples of the kinds of employee compensation issues we handle include:

• Inaccurate wage and hour calculations
• Employer's failure to provide wage statements
• Unpaid wages in proper amounts or when due
• Violations of the minimum wage laws
• Late payment at separation, whether by resignation, layoff or firing
• Uncompensated or denial of regular meal and rest breaks
• Unpaid sales commissions
• Failure to reimburse employees for work expenses: mileage, lodging, uniforms or cell phone
• Illegal wage deductions
• Improper practices concerning vacation pay and time off

Our lawyers represent individuals and employee groups in a wide range of industries: financial services, insurance, home health care, high tech, retail or commission sales, manufacturing and assembly, restaurants, hotels and many others. We represent both salaried and hourlyemployees, and we know which industries and occupations are especially notorious for unfair compensation practices.
