We Handle the Full Range of Wage and Hour Claims in New Haven
Wage and hour laws are the labor regulations that govern employee pay. The primary federal wage and hour law is the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Beyond that, Connecticut also has several key state-level wage and hour protections in place. At Hayber, McKenna & Dinsmore, LLC, we assist employees with all types of wage and hour claims in Connecticut. Among other types of cases, our New Haven wage and hour attorneys can represent you with:
Unpaid Overtime›
Non-exempt employees are entitled to overtime pay (1.5x) for hours worked beyond 40 in a week or 8 in a day. An employer cannot merely exempt whichever employees they choose. There are strict rules and regulations. If you or someone you know was denied the overtime wages that were earned in New Haven, our employment attorneys are standing by, ready to take action to protect your rights. We handle all types of unpaid overtime claims.
Employee Misclassification›
Your workplace rights are, in large part, tied to your status as an employee. Unfortunately, some businesses and organizations improperly classify workers as contractors in order to avoid providing full benefits. Connecticut has strict rules on worker classification. If you believe that you were wrongfully classified as an independent contractor in New Haven, contact our wage and hour attorneys for immediate help.
Delayed or Unpaid Wages›
Your wages should be paid promptly and in full. When companies fail to pay wages, it can cause serious distress for workers. These employers are violating the law and they must be held accountable. Whether your employer underpaid you for time worked or never sent your final paycheck, our New Haven wage and hour attorneys can help.
Minimum Wage Law›
Employers must comply with minimum wage laws. Notably, the Connecticut state minimum wage is higher than the federal minimum wage. We have experience representing workers with a wide variety of minimum wage claims, including tipped employee violations.
Many employees are worried that they will lose their job if they file a complaint against their employer. Please know that you have the right to report a wage and hour complaint without facing retaliation from your company or organization. If you were terminated or otherwise punished for reporting a wage and hour issue, your rights were violated. Call our New Haven workplace retaliation lawyers for immediate assistance.
