Understanding Wrongful Termination

Wrongful termination occurs when an employee is fired in violation of legal protections or company policies. This can include being dismissed for discriminatory reasons, retaliation, or breach of contract.

Understanding Hours and Wage Law Violations

Hours and wage law violations occur when employers fail to adhere to legal standards regarding employee compensation and working conditions. These violations can significantly impact workers’ livelihoods and well-being.

Common Types of Hours and Wage Law Violations

  • Unpaid Overtime: Failing to pay employees for hours worked beyond the standard 40-hour workweek.
  • Minimum Wage Violations: Paying employees less than the federal or state minimum wage.
  • Misclassification of Employees: Incorrectly classifying employees as exempt from overtime or as independent contractors to avoid paying benefits and overtime.
  • Off-the-Clock Work: Requiring employees to work without compensation before or after their scheduled shifts.
  • Illegal Deductions: Making unauthorized deductions from employees’ paychecks.

Steps to Take if You Suspect a Labor or Employment Violation

If you believe you have been wrongfully terminated or have experienced hours and wage law violations, it is essential to take the following steps:

  1. Document Everything: Keep detailed records of your work hours, wages, and any communications related to your termination or wage issues.
  2. Report the Violation: Notify your employer or the appropriate regulatory agency about the suspected violation.
  3. Consult an Attorney: Contact an experienced labor and employment lawyer to discuss your case and explore your legal options.
  4. File a Claim: If necessary, file a claim with the relevant government agency, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the Department of Labor (DOL).
