What Qualifies As A Wage & Hour Case?

If any of the following happened to you, your employer may have committed a federal wage and hour violation and you may be entitled to past wages and punitive damages:
  • You were paid less than the minimum wage. 
  • You worked more than 40 hours in a week and did not get paid overtime or time and a half. 
  • You were forced to work before clocking in or after clocking out. 
  • You were not paid for required training, travel, prep work or cleaning up. 
  • You were required to work through scheduled breaks or perform any work duties during your lunch breaks. 
  • You were denied your vacation or sick leave.
