When employers fail to follow wage and hour laws, workers lose the pay they’ve earned and the protection they deserve. At our firm, we help employees fight back. We represent workers in wage and hour lawsuits involving unpaid overtime, off-the-clock work, employee misclassification, illegal tip practices, minimum wage violations, and more.
Whether your employer is a small business or a national corporation, we’ll help you assert your rights and recover the wages you’re owed.
Wage and hour litigation focuses on enforcing the rules that govern how workers must be paid. These rules are set out in both federal and state law.
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is a federal law that requires employers to pay minimum wage for all hours worked, and overtime for hours worked in excess of 40 per week. It also prohibits off-the-clock work, and forbids employers from misclassifying employees as exempt or as independent contractors.
The Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act (PMWA) provides additional wage protections for Pennsylvania workers. In some cases, the PMWA provides more generous protections than the FLSA, because it requires compensation for a broader range of activities than the FLSA.
Employers who violate these laws can be held responsible for unpaid wages, double damages (known as “liquidated damages”), and attorneys’ fees. In many cases, wage violations affect groups of workers, making them eligible to file class or collective action lawsuits.
Learn your rights when you’ve worked over 40 hours per week but didn’t receive one-and-one-half (1.5) times your regular hourly rate.
You deserve to be paid for all work, including before, after, or outside your scheduled hours.
If your total pay falls below minimum wage after deductions or tip credits, you may have a claim.
Wage theft is more common than many workers realize. Employers often count on fear, confusion, or inaction to avoid accountability. That’s where we come in.
We will review your situation confidentially, explain your rights, and help you decide whether to pursue a claim—individually or as part of a class or collective action. If your rights were violated, we’ll fight to recover every dollar you’re owed.
