Wage & Hour Violation History
Since 2000, federal wage and labor lawsuits have increased by more than 400%, especially in the states of New York, California, Illinois, and Massachusetts. The U.S. Department of Labor’s decision to increase the number of auditing investigators and initiate enforcement actions more frequently may be the cause of this. These enforcement actions, along with lawsuits and government investigations, are the most significant threat to employers.
Types of Wage and Hour Litigation
There are a large variety of wage and hour claims under federal and state laws which we handle, including but not limited to:
- Misclassification of employees as exempt under the “white collar” administrative, executive, and professional (learned and creative) exemptions
- Misclassification of workers as independent contractors
- Failure to pay otherwise exempt employees on a salary basis
- Failure to pay for alleged pre- and post-shift “off-the-clock” activities for non-exempt employees
- Unpaid on-duty meal and rest breaks
- Improper calculation of the regular rate / Failure to pay minimum wage
- Failure to pay overtime
- Improper tip and “service charge” practices
- Other irregular pay practices under state statutory and common laws
