The employment contract between employer
and employee requires employers to pay
their employees for hours worked. Unpaid wages are a violation of
this contract that is punishable by law
under the Fair Labor Standards Act. This
can occur when hours are miscalculated,
overtime is not accounted for, or other
factors take place that result in unpaid
wages.
If you have not been fully compensated
for your work as an employee, you deserve
reparations for unpaid wages. It is dishonest
and illegal when an employer refuses
to pay their employees an agreed-upon
wage for their work. By seeking justice
against those who are in violation of
the FLSA you can call attention these
unfair business practices and help prevent
them in the future.
