Minimum Wage Lawyer Washington, D.C.
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) was established so workers like you aren’t exploited on the clock. Thanks to the FLSA, there are federal guidelines for minimum wage, overtime, tips, and more. These rules have been around for nearly a hundred years, and the FLSA receives updates to keep up with our current standards of living.
Unfortunately, even though the FLSA has been protecting workers for so long, some employers willfully try to get around it. In some cases, employees are purposefully misclassified so employers don’t have to pay them a minimum wage. And in other cases, employers ask their workers to disregard FLSA guidelines and work off the clock, or work more hours without receiving the overtime pay that they’re owed.
You may feel intimidated and discouraged from speaking out. You’re relying on these paychecks, no matter how small they may be. But you also deserve fair compensation for your work – and if your employer mistreats you today, they may continue with their unfair practices until you’re forced to quit. You deserve better, and your Washington minimum wage lawyer can help you get the justice you’re owed.
When you contact a fair pay lawyer, you’re taking an important step towards compensation. Your attorney can help you lodge a complaint, and if necessary, take legal action. A settlement can make up for the hours you lost to unfair pay and employment practices, and it can also help you move on from your employer.
Importantly, an experienced employee wage lawyer can protect you from retaliation. Some employers may try to fire you, or otherwise punish you at work for speaking up and seeking fairness. But with the right legal team on your side, you’ll be protected before, during, and after you take legal action.
