Wage And Hour Lawyer Washington, D.C.
You work, and you deserve fair compensation. And fortunately, most employers are aware of the rules and laws that apply to payroll. Still, other workplaces aren’t so honest – and some employers may be actively flaunting the rules just so they can pocket a bit more money. All the more reason to contact an employee wage claims lawyer you can trust.
There are many ways your employer may skimp on your wages. One of the most common examples is failing to pay for your overtime. If you’ve already worked 40 hours this week and your boss keeps sending you messages and asking you to perform work-related tasks, you deserve extra compensation. If your paychecks don’t reflect this, you need to get in touch with a lawyer.
Some companies may purposefully misclassify employees as independent contractors, just so they don’t have to provide benefits, overtime, or even take care of income tax withholding. But if it turns out that your “independent contractor” position requires a fixed schedule, a full-time commitment, company equipment, and fulfills a central role at your employer’s business, you may be misclassified.
There’s also the matter of wage theft and wrongful deductions for meals and break periods that you didn’t take in the first place. This can involve record or timekeeping violations, which your Washington, D.C. wage and hour lawyer can use to build a stronger case.
When you get in touch with your labor law attorney, you’re getting a valuable advocate who can help you get the money you’re owed. Your lawyer will review the work you’ve been putting in, and the pay you’ve been receiving. Your attorney can also calculate the unpaid wages you may be owed, and help you take legal action against an employer if the employer refuses to listen. It takes a lot of work, but an experienced overtime and wage dispute lawyer can make a big difference.
