Employee labor standards are meant to protect workers from unfair pay.
There are laws in place to ensure that workers are fairly compensated for their work and time. For example, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) sets minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping and employment standards for minors. These standards affect employees in the private sector, as well as in federal, state and local government arenas.
The Ohio employment law attorneys at Elk & Elk have seen firsthand how dishonest employers often try to bypass laws and cheat employees out of hard-earned pay for a hard day’s work. That is why you need a workers’ compensation lawyer who can hold these kinds of employers accountable. Employers who violate the regulations outlined in this act face heavy criminal and civil penalties and are often ordered to pay compensation to employees who have been mistreated.
When you or someone you know has been victimized by an employer who has violated the law, you need a dedicated and experienced legal team to handle your wage and hour violation claim.
