What Are Wage and Hour Disputes?

Wage and hour disputes are legal conflicts that arise when an employer fails to comply with federal or state labor laws regarding employee compensation. These disputes can be significant, as they affect the livelihood of employees and the operational integrity of businesses. For employees, fair compensation is a fundamental right, and employers must maintain compliance to foster a trustworthy work environment. Whether stemming from misclassification, unpaid overtime, or meal break violations, these disputes can significantly impact both parties.

Types of Wage and Hour Disputes

Employee Misclassification

Misclassification occurs when workers are wrongly categorized as independent contractors instead of employees, leading to denial of benefits and protections such as overtime pay and health insurance. Although employers sometimes see misclassification as a means by which to reduce costs, it exposes them to significant legal liability under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and various state laws.

Overtime Violations

The FLSA mandates that non-exempt employees receive overtime pay for hours worked beyond the standard 40-hour workweek. Despite clear guidelines, some employers misinterpret exemptions, thereby denying employees of rightful compensation. Many states have their own specific laws governing overtime, and employers and employees alike should be aware of the regulations that apply to them. 

Meal and Rest Break Violations

Employees are entitled to specific meal and rest breaks during their shifts. Violations occur when these breaks are unpaid or not provided, contravening state labor laws. Legal intervention can help force compliance and rectify wage discrepancies.
