Employment and Fair Labor Standards Act Disputes

Employers have an obligation under Federal law to compensate their employees fairly for their work. If you’ve been wronged by your employer in a way that violates the FLSA, you have the right to file a civil lawsuit and seek compensation for your injuries.

Over 75 years ago the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) was passed, ensuring that workers in America were entitled to receive a minimum wage, overtime pay, and eliminating child labor. All this time later, there are still employers who violate the rights of their workers.

The law also gives workers a recourse. If workers’ rights have been violated, individually or collectively, those workers have the right to file a civil suit against the employer and seek compensation.

About the FLSA

The Fair Labor Standards Act applies to employees who work for companies that are engaged in interstate commerce – which is generally defined for purposes of the law as companies with more than $550,000 a year in sales or gross revenue.

Employees may have a case for an FLSA law if the minimum wage is not being paid, tipped employees are not being paid at lest $2 an hour, or if workers are not being paid for overtime at a rate of one and half times their regular wage.

FLSA law can be complex. If your rights have been violated, your best option is to seek the advice of a qualified FLSA attorney who can work with you to file a FLSA lawsuit and seek justice.
