Experienced New York Employment Lawyers Handle Wage & Overtime Claims
Skilled attorneys help employees in the New York and New Jersey area get justice
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) has been protecting employees since 1937. Under its two central provisions — the minimum wage requirement and the overtime provision — employers are obligated to pay required wages and, for non-exempt employees, pay overtime when they work for more than 40 hours in a week. The lawyers at Marzec Law Firm, P.C. are well qualified to determine if you have a valid wage, hour or overtime claim against your employer, and we are prepared to obtain the payment you're owed for the work you've performed. We represent clients in the New York and New Jersey area and throughout New York and New Jersey in these and other employment law cases to ensure they are fully compensated for the work they provide.
Proven advocates in representing parties in wage and hour claims
Wage disputes can range from simple classification errors to complex and time-consuming cases where employers have deliberately violated the law. We can clearly and precisely explain employee rights under state and federal law. Our attorneys have both prosecuted and defended wage and hour claims in cases related to:
- Misclassification of employees as exempt from wage and hour laws
- Unpaid overtime and sick days
- Violation of minimum wage laws
- Unpaid lunch and rest periods in violation of the law
- Independent contractor rights
- Late pay
- Unpaid reimbursement for work-related expenses
- Improper deductions
Our firm strives to achieve all objectives of the client on wage and hour cases.
Knowledgeable advisers empower employees to seek what they're owed
Even when employees know they have been underpaid, the thought of bringing a legal action against their employer can be intimidating. But it is important for workers to know their rights and hold their employers accountable. Our attorneys are intimately familiar with both state and federal standards in wage and overtime law and will file a claim against your company when they've violated your rights. Under the FLSA, it is unlawful for an employer to fire or discriminate against an employee who has filed a complaint or participated in an FLSA legal proceeding. If you believe you have been retaliated against for challenging your employer’s payment practices, we will take prompt action and pursue justice on your behalf.
Skilled lawyers offer employees options in wage disputes
Our attorneys will meticulously analyze the circumstances of your wage, hour or overtime claim to determine whether a negotiated settlement or litigation is the better option. As skilled negotiators, we can often reach a settlement that saves you time and money, but we are always prepared to enforce your rights at trial when we need to. Regardless of your course of action, our trial experience and track record of successfully handling wage and overtime claims provide you with the security of knowing your case is being handled by a seasoned professional.
