If you are afraid of your employer or believe that you will be retaliated against for pursuing the wages you are owed, either through discipline, demotion, or job loss, our discrimination attorney will provide the assurance you need to take a stand. Not only is it illegal to refuse your overtime pay, but it is also unlawful to retaliate against an employee for speaking out against illegal behavior.
The law allows for overtime pay to be delayed until the next following payroll period, until the next payday. All regular wages, or straight time wages, must be paid within the pay period they were earned.
If they do not show up on the following paycheck, you have a case against your employer, and we will lead the way in pursuing your legal options.
You have legal rights to be compensated fairly and for all hours worked. You work hard-- and you deserve to be compensated for your work. Our Wage and Hour lawyer will help you file a claim and guide you through the legal process.
