Wage and Hour Violations

Employees have legal rights protecting them against suffering unfair wages and work hour policies. Though these laws exist, it does not mean that employers respect them.

When you suspect your employer is not paying or treating you fairly, you can rely on my legal experience. At The Law Office of Bryce A. Dodds, I hold employers accountable for wage and hour law violations. I know these violations can cause you undue stress and financial hardship. Through the legal process, I can help you rectify these violations.

Employees Have the Right to Full Reimbursement and Pay for Their Work

Some employers—however large, however successful—cheat their employees as part of their business model:

  • They illegally shift their operating costs to their employees by requiring their employees to incur necessary business expenses, such as the costs of maintaining a required home office, internet, business cell phone, and mileage, and then refuse to reimburse those expenses.
  • They shortchange their employees for work already performed, require employees to work through lunches and breaks, and require them to work off the clock.
  • They hide behind third-party staffing agencies to create a buffer between them and their violations of law.
  • They misclassify employees as exempt to avoid having to pay overtime and misclassify employees as independent contractors to avoid paying overtime, providing lunches and breaks, reimbursing expenses, and paying taxes.

If your employer has failed to reimburse you, pay all wages owed, or permit you to take lunch and breaks, contact The Law Office of Bryce A. Dodds for help recovering your expenses, wages, and penalties. I can also assist you if you wrongfully lost your job for speaking out about unfair practices.
