Warehouse & Distribution Center Wage Violations: Know Your Rights Under the FLSA

Warehouse and distribution center employees work long hours to keep supply chains moving, but often they are denied the wages they rightfully earned. At Hermanowski Law, we specialize in helping warehouse workers recover unpaid wages, overtime, and other compensation under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). If your employer has failed to pay you fairly, you may have a legal claim.

Common Wage Violations in Warehouses & Distribution Centers

Warehouse and distribution center workers frequently experience wage theft due to employer practices that violate federal labor laws. Some of the most common violations include:

• Unpaid Pre- and Post-Shift Work – Time spent undergoing security screenings, preparing equipment, or completing post-shift tasks must be compensated.
• Off-the-Clock Work – Employers must pay for all time worked, including mandatory meetings, training, or additional tasks assigned outside of scheduled shifts.
• Unpaid Overtime – Warehouse employees classified as hourly workers are entitled to overtime pay for any hours worked beyond 40 per week.
• Misclassification of Employees – Some companies misclassify workers as independent contractors or salaried employees to avoid paying overtime.
• Illegal Wage Deductions – Employers cannot make deductions for broken equipment, damaged goods, or other unjustified reasons that bring your pay below minimum wage.

If you have experienced any of these wage violations, you may be entitled to back pay and additional damages.
