The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) was enacted to protect workers and ensure they received a fair wage, including overtime pay.
Employers, however, may fail to pay required overtime or in some other way fail to meet the standards required by the act. A violation of FLSA requirements may be intentional or due to a misunderstanding. In either case, the employees involved are entitled to back pay and possibly statutory damages.
Lear Werts LLP represents employees who are financially injured by violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). If you feel you have not been treated fairly by your employer, and would like to speak with an overtime lawyer at our firm, contact Lear Werts LLP and schedule a free consultation to discuss your wage and hour dispute.
It is illegal for your employer to retaliate against you through wrongful termination or other means for filing a complaint about a violation of FLSA regulations.
