In addition to compliance-related counseling, our attorneys regularly litigate wage and hour cases, including single-plaintiff, class, collective, and hybrid actions in federal and state courts, and are consistently at the forefront of emerging issues in FLSA and state wage and hour law. While most of these cases focus on whether employers have properly classified employees as “exempt” from overtime pay requirements or whether non-exempt employees received pay and overtime for all hours worked, we also handle class actions involving a broad range of other wage and hour issues, such as paycheck requirements, bonus calculations, vacation pay, uniforms and dress codes, timekeeping, and waiting time penalties. On a daily basis, our attorneys handle claims alleging misclassification of workers’ exempt status, overtime pay violations, “off the clock” work, inaccurate time and payroll records, time clock rounding practices, and other wage and hour issues for many employers with nationwide or multi-state operations. We are currently defending hundreds of collective or class actions brought by private parties as well as investigations by federal and state Departments of Labor.
