How Can You Tell If Your Employer Is Not Paying You What They Should?
There are many types of wage and hour violations a Dalton worker could face. For example, an employer might ask you to work “off the clock” or fail to meet the wage requirements for overtime hours. Spotting these violations isn’t always easy. Here are a few red flags:
- Your pay stubs are missing or do not clearly show hours worked.
- Your employer classifies you as an independent contractor even though they control your schedule.
- You do not receive “time-and-a-half” pay for working more than 40 hours in a week, and your job is nonexempt.
- Your boss “rounds down” your hours at the end of the day.
If you notice these signs, our team can investigate. We help you hold companies accountable for paying you every dollar you earned.
