Labor Law
Unfortunately, employers often fail to pay their employers everything they are owed. That can occur in many different ways, the most common of which are when an employee is:
- Paid less than minimum wage;
- Not being compensated for the overtime they worked beyond the standard 40-hour work week;
- Withheld wages and commission they have already earned (such as when you never receive your last paycheck from an employer);
- Required to work hours that are “off the clock”; or
- Illegally classified as an “exempt” employee or independent contractor so the employer can avoid paying the employee overtime compensation.
The good news is that if one of these things has happened to you, or something else where your current or past employer has failed to pay you completely for your work, the Law Offices of Thomas & Pearl can assist you in obtaining that money, and in many cases the law even forces the employer to pay your attorneys’ fees!
