Are You Being PaidFairlyfor Your Hard Work?

As an employee, you work hard to support yourself and your family. In return, you deserve fair wages, proper overtime pay, and a workplace that respects your rights. Unfortunately, many employers violate labor laws, withholding wages, denying overtime, or requiring unpaid work. If you believe your employer has treated you unfairly, you may have legal options to recover the pay you’re owed.

Not sure if your situation qualifies as a wage or hour violation? Take the quiz below to find out if you may have a case.

What Are Wage and Hour Violations?

Wage and hour disputes occur when an employer fails to meet the legal requirements for paying employees. Common violations include:

  • Unpaid Overtime: Failing to pay time-and-a-half for hours worked over 40 in a week.
  • Minimum Wage Violations: Paying less than the federal or state minimum wage.
  • Off-the-Clock Work: Requiring employees to work before clocking in or after clocking out without pay.
  • Misclassifying Employees: Labeling workers as independent contractors or salaried employees to avoid paying overtime or benefits.
  • Illegal Pay Deductions: Taking unauthorized deductions from wages for uniforms, equipment, or other expenses.
Do any of these sound familiar? Take the quiz to determine if your employer may have violated your rights.

YourRightsas a Worker

Federal and state laws protect your right to fair wages and working conditions. These laws include:
  • The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA): Establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, and other labor protections.
  • State Wage and Hour Laws: Many states offer additional protections, such as higher minimum wages or stricter overtime rules.
  • Meal and Rest Breaks: In some states, employers must provide paid or unpaid breaks during your shift.

If your employer has failed to follow these laws, you have the right to take legal action. Start the quiz to learn more about your rights.
