Federal Wage and Hour Law Attorneys

When employers fail to pay workers what they are legally owed, employees have the right to take action. At Hermanowski Law, we are dedicated to helping workers nationwide recover unpaid wages, overtime, and other compensation they are entitled to under federal law. Our experienced attorneys specialize in wage and hour claims, ensuring that employees receive fair treatment under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and other federal labor laws.

Understanding Wage and Hour Violations

Wage and hour laws exist to protect workers from exploitation and ensure they receive proper compensation for their labor. Common violations include:

• Unpaid Overtime – Employers must pay non-exempt employees 1.5 times their regular pay rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek.
• Misclassification of Employees – Some employers wrongly classify employees as independent contractors or exempt from overtime to avoid paying proper wages.
• Minimum Wage Violations – The federal minimum wage must be paid to all non-exempt employees.
• Illegal Tip Pooling & Wage Theft – Employers cannot take or improperly distribute tips, deduct unauthorized expenses, or withhold wages.
• Off-the-Clock Work – Employees must be compensated for all required job duties, including before or after scheduled shifts.

If you believe your employer has violated wage and hour laws, you may have a legal claim to recover unpaid wages and damages.
