Wage Theft Attorney
Wage theft can take many forms and may occur without a worker even realizing that it’s happening. From failing to pay workers overtime to misclassifying employees to get out of paying them properly, employers can be insidious in the various ways that they engage in wage theft.
As such, a skilled wage theft lawyer can be of significant benefit to helping employees get justice in situations where this kind of behavior has victimized them. The Lore Law Firm has a reputation for holding employers accountable when engaging in wage theft.
What Is Wage Theft?
Wage theft may encompass any number of possible actions, including:
- Failing to pay overtime
- Unlawful deductions from pay
- Failing to pay employees for hours worked
- Misclassifying employees to get out of paying overtime
- Falsely telling employees they are exempt from overtime considerations
- Offering “comp” time instead of paying overtime
Wage theft can be costly, and employers may become more egregious in this behavior over time. For example, if you accept “comp” time instead of overtime even once, an employer may try to compel you to do the same thing each time you need to put in extra hours at work.
