Making Sure Employees Are Paid for Their Time
All employees are entitled to be paid for their work, and all hourly workers and some salaried workers are entitled to overtime for hours worked over 40 in a single week. Sometimes, employers overtly refuse to pay their employees the wages and commissions agreed upon, but sometimes, employees do not even realize that they are being cheated in wages. Common examples include:
- "One time" requests for additional work or extra coverage
- Denial of lunch breaks because of how busy things are
- Failure to pay for travel time between job sites
These actions are illegal under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and other federal and Ohio laws, but may be hard to pursue a claim on your own. We can help. Our lawyers know wage and hour law, and we have the experience to defend your rights.
