Wage & Hour Disputes

You have a right to be fully compensated for the work you perform. If your employer is in the practice of withholding proper compensation, you may have a valid claim for unlawful wage and hour practices. Contact Kenneth Martin Knee, to schedule a free initial consultation to discuss your case.

• Are you expected to work, but cannot clock in until a certain time?
• Are you expected to work during breaks or rest periods?
• Are break times or lunch breaks withheld from your paycheck—even when breaks were not taken (and you were not permitted to take the breaks)?
• Are you expected to perform job duties after clocking out at the end of your shift?

While seemingly minor, these types of unfair wage and hour practices can add up over time. You are entitled to compensation for the time spent performing the duties of your job, not just the time that your employer chooses to document on your time sheet.

Some employers may deceptively classify a worker as a manager or supervisor in order to designate him or her as a salaried employee / exempt employee. However, under scrutiny, the job duties are essentially the same as that of the hourly rate employees / nonexempt employees. This misclassification of employees can violate labor laws when it wrongfully allows employers to avoid paying overtime.
