Unpaid Wages & Overtime

Reclaim Your Unpaid Wages & Overtime Pay

Every employee deserves the right to payment for work that they completed. If you have not been paid by your employer, you need to contact an attorney immediately. Time is ticking. In New York, employees only have six years to report unpaid wages. Federal law only allows employees two to three years.

We use our 30 years of experience to explore all of our options when it comes to wage restitution. We are not afraid of the big companies and handle cases both large and small. Hire a team that won’t back down and will always look for a way through.

Don’t Be Afraid of Your Employer

Companies can be imposing and intimidating. If you are a victim of unpaid wages, you need to speak up. You may be worried about the consequences you will face if you hire an attorney. Thankfully, the state of New York has anti-retaliation laws in place to protect employees from unjust treatment and retaliation after they have complained about their company or reported illegal activity. Our team will apply these laws to make sure you are protected.

Laws Regarding Overtime Pay in New York

In most cases, New York employees are entitled to “time and a half” pay for any hours that exceed their 40 hour work week. This means that you should receive 1.5 times your hourly wage for every hour that you work outside of your normal 40 hours. However, not all employees are entitled to overtime.

Some of those who do not receive overtime may include:

⦁ I.T. professionals
⦁ Farmers
⦁ Drivers
⦁ Salespeople receiving commission
⦁ Seasonal workers
⦁ Salaried employees
