Wage and Hour

Wage and hour claims have dramatically eclipsed most other workplace disputes, and with ongoing changes in federal regulations, expanding state regulations, and increasing regulations on the local level, wage and hour compliance has become a crucial issue for today’s employers.  With the increase in penalties courts are awarding in addition to unpaid wages, interest, and attorneys' fees, complete compliance is essential.
