Why should I file a claim?
Filing a claim is the most effective way of obtaining the unpaid wages you rightfully deserve. While some employers will take your request into consideration and pay you what you are owed, others are not as cooperative. In our experience, employers often change their tune once we become involved. Filing a claim against them sends a strong message, which they should consider taking seriously.
What if I lose my job if I file a lawsuit against my employer?
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), it is illegal for an employer to retaliate against an employee who has filed an overtime lawsuit against them. If your employer mistreats, demotes, or fires you, we can help you amend your overtime claim to include a retaliation case. The law is on your side.
I have an office job and work long hours without overtime pay. Am I exempt from receiving overtime?
While most American workers qualify for overtime benefits, not all workers are eligible. White collar workers who earn $455 a week and perform a managerial or high-level job that requires an advanced degree are considered exempt from overtime wages. However, cases vary, which is why it is best that you discuss your case with one of our New Jersey overtime law attorneys during a free case evaluation.
