Fear of Being Fired<\/h2>\n

I know I’m owed money, but will I get fired if I do anything about it?<\/p>\n

That’s a fair question that we often hear. Fortunately, the law makes it illegal for any employer to retaliate against an employee who demands their fair pay under the law. Companies are subject to both\u00a0criminal\u00a0and\u00a0civil\u00a0penalties for taking any action against an employee. Judges enforcing these laws come down hard on employers who retaliate against employees. You are armed with this hammer because the wage and overtime laws recognize there is an imbalance of power between employers and employees – that’s why the law encourages you to speak up without fear of reprisal. If you are concerned about retaliation, your fears should be put to rest after reviewing the information on this site. We have represented hundreds of employees in wage disputes against their employers without any action taken against them.<\/p>\n

Thinking about filing a complaint through the Department of Labor?\u00a0Think Again.<\/h2>\n

Think twice before heading to the\u00a0Department of Labor\u00a0(DOL) for help.\u00a0 If your employer is violating the\u00a0Fair Labor Standards Act\u00a0(FLSA)\u00a0and depriving you of the wages to which you are lawfully eligible, the Department of Labor has no motive to get you proper compensation. We currently represent employees who filed with the DOL, but received an offer that was unacceptable.<\/p>\n
