Wage and Hour Violations
Attorney Scott Telson brings 25 years of experience in employment law and labor law. He has successfully sued major corporations such as Wal-Mart and FedEx in class actions. Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, he works to ensure that workers are fairly compensated for wage and hour violations:
- Off-clock work — Requiring workers to perform unpaid prep work before their "official" shift, or making them clean up or perform other duties after punching out
- Donning and doffing — Failing to pay workers for the additional time to put on and remove protective gear required for the job
- Failure to pay overtime (time and a half)
- Miscalculations of pay or overtime
- Requiring workers to work through lunch breaks
- Requiring workers to punch out for paid breaks
- Refusing mandatory meal or rest breaks
Employers can be liable for each instance of a denied break or off-clock work, compensated by a full hour's pay plus penalties. When these violations have been systematic over time, it can add up to a substantial amount.
