New York City Overtime Wage Attorneys Help Drivers Recover Illegally Withheld Wages
Strong legal guidance for professional
drivers in New York City
Drivers
are routinely asked to work much more than
the 40 hours required for overtime wages to
kick in. Although some types of drivers are
exempt from having to be paid for
overtime wages, many drivers in New York
City are not exempt from having to be paid
overtime. Our NYC drivers’ rights attorneys
at
Hepworth, Gershbaum & Roth, PLLC help
drivers analyze whether employers have been
paying them unfairly. When businesses commit
wage theft, our attorneys help you take
legal action to fully recover all of the
compensation you deserve.
Damages available to drivers in NYC that
take legal action to recover unpaid overtime
wages
The law is
on your side when employers have failed to
pay employees the overtime wages earned.
Depending on the circumstances surrounding
your case, our New York City
drivers’ rights attorneys help you file
your claim in state or federal court to
maximize the damages that you are likely to
recover. Whether your claim is brought in
New York state court or federal court, you
do not have to worry about paying our
attorneys out of your own pocket. The law
requires employers to pay attorney’s fees
directly to us in addition to the damages
that you are entitled to recover.
The types
of compensation that drivers can expect to
recover from unpaid overtime claims include:
What is the standard for when overtime wages
are owed in New York?
The
general rule of thumb for when overtime must
be paid is whenever an employee works 40
hours or more in any seven day period. This
does not mean any calendar week. It means
any time spent working more than 40 hours
within any seven consecutive days. Our NYC
drivers’ rights attorneys find that
employers try to mislead drivers into
thinking that overtime only applies for a
work week. We can help you put an end to the
abuse and recover the time and a half that
you have earned.
