💰 Did you know North American workers put in an average of 9 hours of unpaid overtime each week, according to a poll by ADP in 2021?

If you suspect you weren't adequately paid for your overtime, it's worth investigating.

If we can demonstrate your employer didn't compensate you for your overtime properly, we can sue for unpaid overtime, typically covering the past two years. If your employer intentionally denied your pay, the timeline extends to three years. You could also be eligible for double damages. If the case is won, your employer pays both our fee and your back pay, so most employers are keen to resolve these issues promptly.

Contact Fox & Weiss, P.A. to begin fighting for your deserved pay today.

Three conditions must be established to constitute a s*xual harassment claim:

1️⃣ The harassment must be severe enough to affect the terms of employment.

2️⃣ Management had been notified of the harassment.

3️⃣ After being notified, management failed to take sufficient action and the s*xual harassment continued.

Sexual harassment may be based on opposite genders, same-gender harassment, or gender identity harassment; it’s not just s*xual in nature.

Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, employers are required to pay time-and-a-half for all hours worked over 40 hours per week.

It is important to ensure that you have a copy of your commission agreement to present in court. Fox & Weiss, P.A. can assist you in verifying your claim and help you recover all of the money that is owed to you.

The Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), combined with state and local laws, makes sure that workers' rights are being protected.

It states that if you work more than 40 hours in a week, you should get paid 1.5 times your usual rate for those extra hours. It also has rules about how bonuses and commissions should be paid, and how to correctly classify and pay employees.

Sometimes, employers might not be following these rules without even realizing it. For instance, they might not pay overtime to managers or those on a salary, or mistakenly classify employees as independent contractors.

It's important to know your rights and ensure they are being upheld. Contact Fox & Weiss P.A. if you believe you are a victim of unfair pay practices.
