Wage/Hour/Overtime Dispute

What is a Wage/Hour/Overtime Dispute?

A wage dispute occurs when an employer fails to compensate an employee for the work he/she has performed.  Wage disputes also occur when an employer fails to pay an employee for the total hours he/she has worked or fails to pay an employee for all overtime hours he/she has worked.  Additionally, wage and hour disputes may occur when an employer fails to pay an employee in accordance with the state’s minimum wage laws or fails to pay a hourly employee overtime for additional hours he/she has worked.

According to both federal and state laws, employers are required to pay employees minimum wages or more.  Employers are also required to compensate hourly employees with overtime wages anytime they work more than the standard 40 hour work week.  Anytime an employer violates wage and employment laws, the employee has the right to file a wage dispute.  Once this happens, the employee may sue his/her employer for the wages he/she is owed.  The employee may also request additional monetary compensation for any hardships or suffering he/she has incurred as a result of the wage dispute.

Working with a Wage Dispute Lawyer

After an employee has become involved in a wage dispute, there are several things the employee should do.  First, the employee should try to speak with his/her employer about the unpaid wages.  If the employer does not pay the employee or delays payment for an extended period of time, it may be in the employee’s best interests to obtain the services of a knowledgeable wage dispute lawyer, like the lawyers at Gillespie, Shields & Durrant.  At Gillespie, Shields & Durrant, we have successfully handled numerous wage, hour and overtime dispute cases throughout Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler and Gilbert, Arizona.  Our Phoenix employment law attorneys will do everything we can to ensure that employees are fairly compensated.
