Wage and hour law encompasses the compensation of employees, child labor and an employer's responsibility to keep true and accurate records of an employee's time and pay.  Our Firm helps employers understand and ensure their compliance with the vast array of federal and state wage and hour laws through counseling clients, educational seminars, internal audits, client alerts and our Law of the Workplace newsletter. 

 

We also defend companies who are the subject of administrative and judicial proceedings claiming unpaid overtime and commissions, failure to pay minimum wages, improper compensation for on call employees, denying worker’s vacation time, sick time, personal time and break period, improper utilization of minors in the workplace and failing to maintain accurate records.  The Firm has represented numerous restaurants in protecting their tip credit for service employees and is currently involved in class action litigation that is attempting to seriously undermine the application of this tip credit for service employees.
