Has Your Employer Failed to Pay You Properly?
The Fair Labor Standards Act provides clear guidelines that require employers to pay employees properly. Unfortunately, many employers fail to do so. Sometimes, this is the result of an error. Perhaps the employer doesn't understand the applicable wage and hour laws. Sometimes, however, employers intentionally try to cut costs by exploiting those they depend on the most: their employees.

Handling All Types of Wage and Hour Claims
Our lawyers can assist people in Lakeland, Haines City and throughout Central Florida with all wage and hour claims. The most common cases involve unpaid overtime. Many of these cases are the result of misclassification of hourly employees as exempt.
We can handle unpaid overtime claims and all other wage and hour cases, including:
- Working off the clock: Requiring workers to perform unpaid prep work before their shift, or making them clean up or perform other duties after punching out
- Donning and doffing: Failing to pay workers for the time spent putting on and removing protective gear required for the job
- Breaks: Forcing workers to work through lunch and other mandatory breaks, or requiring workers to punch out for paid breaks
- Miscalculations: Errors in pay due to incorrect accounting for regular vs. overtime hours, or paying overtime at a rate less than time and a half
