Wondering If You Have A Wage And Hour Claim?

As an employee, you deserve fair and legal treatment when it comes to your working hours and wages. You deserve reasonable working conditions and fair pay. There are many laws at the federal, state and local levels that impact working conditions and pay rates for employees. If your employer is not complying with those laws, you may have a legal claim.

Wages and hour cases can be complicated. At the Law Offices of Yale Pollack, P.C., I have the experience it takes to navigate these cases. I’m attorney Yale Pollack. For more than 15 years, I have helped employees enforce their rights to fair treatment and fair pay. I can evaluate your situation and determine whether you have a claim for compensation.

Types Of Wage And Hour Issues

One major law – the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) – sets minimum requirements that employers must meet nationwide when it comes to minimum wage, overtime, child labor and other aspects of employment. Workers in New York City are also protected by state and local laws.

I understand all the nuances of these employment laws, and I can use that knowledge to help you navigate issues such as:

• Employee misclassification
