Wage Violations And Disputes
You need money in order to survive. The paycheck you worked tirelessly to earn is vital to the quality of your everyday life. When your employer does not pay you what is owed or there is a dispute regarding your paycheck, you need an experienced attorney to fight for you.
At The Wolcott Law Firm LLC in Indianapolis, I work with employees who have been improperly compensated for time worked. I use my background in human resources and my extensive knowledge of the law to fight for the wages you deserve.
Fighting For You And Your Paycheck
Federal and state laws outline minimum and overtime wage requirements for employers. You must be paid at least minimum wage for time worked. All time worked in excess of 40 hours is considered overtime and should be paid at a rate of 1.5 times your regular wage. Oftentimes employees who receive tips are underpaid. Between tips collected and the base wage established by employers, all employees should meet minimum wage requirements. If tips earned and the base rate don’t equal minimum wage, your employer is obligated to make up the difference.
Other common mistakes employers make include:
- Employee misclassification
- Improper garnishment of wages
- Incorrect compensation for employee breaks
- Failure to pay
As an experienced employment law attorney, you can trust me to thoroughly investigate your case and determine what happened with your paycheck so that you can get the full amount you deserve. I have years of experience helping employees with wage violations and disputes. I will personally examine your case, answer your questions and take action to help fight for proper compensation and to ensure there is no retaliation from your employer.
