Protecting Your Rights Under the Fair Labor Standards Act in Fort Lauderdale
Wage, Hour, and Overtime Disputes – Get the Compensation You Deserve
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) has been protecting employees since 1937. Under its two central provisions — the minimum wage requirement and the overtime provision — employers are obligated to pay you the wages required by the FLSA and if you are classified as non-exempt, pay for your overtime. The lawyer at JP Salas Law is well qualified to determine if you have a wage, hour or overtime law case against your employer.
Wage disputes can range from simple misclassification errors to complex and time-consuming cases where employers have deliberately violated the law. We can clearly and precisely explain your employment rights under Florida law and the FLSA. Our attorney has recovered earnings and other damages related to:
- Unpaid overtime and sick days
- Violation of minimum wage laws
