WAGE & HOUR

Wage and hour discrepancies can be both exasperating and financially detrimental for workers of all kind. Some employers might unintentionally commit these infractions out of ignorance, while others deliberately do so to boost their earnings. Regardless of intent, such actions are unequivocally unlawful.

Victims of such violations aren't helpless; they have legal avenues to address these wrongs. At A2X LAW, our seasoned employment attorneys staunchly defend employee rights, guiding victims of wage and hour discrepancies towards justice. With our reputation as ardent defenders and accomplished litigators, we stand prepared to navigate wronged employees through the best legal strategies to hold culpable employers responsible, ensuring the fullest possible financial restitution.

COMMON WAYS EMPLOYERS BREACH WAGE AND HOUR STANDARDS

Employers can fall short of wage and hour standards in various ways. Prominent instances include:

• Not adhering to minimum wage, stipulated employment contract rates, or prevailing wages.
• Neglecting to remunerate commissions or unlawfully deducting from workers' tips.
• Overlooking legally mandated overtime or double-time payments.
• Compelling staff to forgo their mandated rest or lunch intervals.
• Not allocating breaks for nursing mothers to express milk.
• Neglecting or outright refusing to cover job-related expenses that the employer should shoulder.

A less common wage and hour issue is the misclassification of employees. This might occur by labeling certain employees as independent contractors or dubiously designating them as “exempt” when they genuinely qualify as nonexempt. Such mislabeling deprives these individuals of crucial financial benefits, job securities, and other entitlements.

RETALIATION IS A LEGAL BREACH

Employers are forbidden from retaliating against staff who voice concerns over wage and hour discrepancies. If adverse actions like demotion, job termination, or other punitive measures were taken against you for whistleblowing, it's time for reparation. We are here at A2X LAW to aid you in holding those responsible to account and securing rightful compensation for your hardships.
