Common Wage and Hour Disputes

Wage and hour disputes often stem from various factors, including technical glitches in timekeeping systems, human error, or intentional practices aimed at reducing labor costs. Commonly occurring disputes include:

• Overtime Pay Issues: Some employees are legally exempt from overtime pay, while others are not. Employers might exploit ambiguities in classification to deny non-exempt employees the overtime compensation they deserve.
• Minimum Wage Violations: Employers may unlawfully hire low-paid or unpaid interns to perform tasks typically assigned to paid employees, thereby bypassing minimum wage laws.
• Incorrect Timekeeping: Errors in recording hours worked can result in employees not being compensated for their actual time spent on the job.

Impact on Employees

Wage and hour disputes can severely affect employees, leading to discontent and diminished morale. Not receiving proper compensation for work performed undermines trust and can cause significant personal and professional strain. Employees denied fair wages may struggle with financial obligations, impacting their overall well-being and productivity.
