What Are Wage And Hour Violations?
Wage and hour violations occur when employers fail to comply with laws regarding compensation, working hours, and employee rights. Common examples of these violations include:
- Minimum wage violations: Workers must receive at least the minimum wage required by law, either the federal or state rate, whichever is higher. Employers cannot pay less than this amount.
- Overtime pay violations: Employees who work over 40 hours in a week should be paid at a time-and-a-half rate for those extra hours. Failing to provide overtime pay is a violation of wage laws.
- Misclassification of employees: Some workers may be wrongly classified as exempt from overtime pay to avoid paying them for additional hours worked. This misclassification is illegal if the employee’s role doesn’t meet exemption criteria.
- Unpaid breaks or meal periods: Workers must be paid if they are required to work through breaks or if their breaks are interrupted by job duties.
- Failure to pay for all hours worked: Any time spent on job duties, even outside regular hours or before/after clocking in, should be compensated.
If you suspect wage and hour violations, it is important to take action. You may have the option to file a complaint with government agencies or pursue legal action to recover unpaid wages.
