Experienced
Wage and Hour Attorneys in New York Enforce
Paycheck Laws for Disadvantaged Employees
Tough on
employers that purposely short employee
paychecks of rightful compensation
There are too many
business owners out there that think they
can get away with abusing their employees by
not fully paying them the wages that they
are due. Every employer must comply with
both state and federal laws. You have the
right to be compensated when an employer
breaks the law and intentionally gives you
smaller paychecks than you deserve. Under
New York State law your paycheck, must be
clear and contain the information how you
are paid, and a detailed breakdown of your
pay and any deductions. This must also be
stated in your primary language. At
Hepworth, Gershbaum & Roth, PLLC, our
attorneys help employees take a stand
against unethical employers that cheat the
employees that keep them in business.
What
punishments exist for employers that
willfully refuse to pay their employees?
When you show up for work
you have the right to be paid in full for
your labor. Unfortunately, some employers
are dishonest and take actions to
deliberately avoid paying their employees
what they deserve. Our
labor attorneys in New York City help
you take a stand against employers that
refuse to pay their employees that they are
entitled to receive. We represent clients
throughout the state of New York and
nationally. Depending on the circumstances
of your case, you may be able to recover
wages from up to six years ago. In addition
to being paid what you are owed, you may
also be able to recover attorney’s fees,
costs and in punitive damages in some
circumstances. The most common tactics
businesses use to avoid paying their
employees include:

for slow business days

employees paid “under the table”
-
Docking hours off of timesheets

Unpaid mandatory meetings or trainings
