Wage and Hour Lawsuits Recover Millions for Employees


Workers spend up to 40 hours a week putting in time to earn a paycheck, but often times employers take advantage of them and commit the crime of wage theft. This is a violation of FLSA laws, and these employers can be hit with costly wage and hour lawsuits. 

Wage and hour lawsuits are class action lawsuits that allow a group of employers or former employers come forward with legal action against these entities. Most wage and hour claims take the form of class action lawsuits because any harm done in this form is usually done to several people at once. The Department of Labor estimates that more than 70% of employers violate the FLSA.

If you feel as if you’ve been mistreated by an employer when it comes to your wage and hour rights, contact a lawyer for a case examination. These professionals can help you determine the best course-of-action and if a class action settlement is a good idea moving forward. When done right, these lawsuits can win workers millions in wage and hour lawsuit settlements as employers are required to pay back wages as well as damages. The Paycheck Warriors at Barkan Meizlish, LLP are here to help you reclaim your lost wages.
