What Are Wage & Hour Disputes?
Wage and hour disputes arise when employers fail to uphold their legal obligations to their employees. These disputes involve disagreements over pay, working conditions, and other aspects of the employer-employee relationship.
Federal and state wage and hour laws establish critical standards to protect workers. These laws cover a wide range of workplace issues, including minimum wage requirements, overtime pay, proper payment of wages, and required record-keeping by employers. Violations of these laws can leave employees vulnerable and uncertain about their rights.
