Can You Sue for Unpaid Wages?
Not being paid the wages you earned can leave any worker feeling frustrated and undervalued. Depending on the facts and the laws that apply, legal options could be available to pursue unpaid compensation.
An unpaid wage lawyer can review how you were paid, explain which laws could apply, and discuss the steps that may be available. An attorney from Josephson Dunlap can guide you through that review and help protect your interests.

Who We Help
Whatever You Are Paid. However You Are Paid.
Depending on how you are classified and paid, wage-and-hour laws could provide rights beyond what appears on your paycheck.
Hourly Workers
Hourly workers could lose pay through unpaid overtime, off-the-clock work, interrupted meal periods, unlawful deductions, minimum wage violations, or inaccurate wage statements. Repeated underpayments can add up across many pay periods.
Learn MoreSalaried Workers
Being paid a salary does not automatically determine whether a worker is exempt from overtime. Job duties, pay, and other facts could show that a salaried employee qualifies for overtime compensation.
Learn MoreDay Rate Workers
Workers paid a flat amount per day are common in oilfield, construction, and similar industries. Depending on the circumstances, a day-rate worker could also qualify for an overtime premium for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek.
Learn MoreIndependent Contractors
A contract or job title does not resolve whether someone is legally an independent contractor. The actual working relationship could show that the worker should be treated as an employee with overtime and minimum wage protections.

Fighting for Workers' Rights
Know Your Rights at Work
Wage-and-hour laws protect your right to be paid correctly for the work you perform. Depending on where you work and how you are paid, these protections could cover minimum wage, overtime, tips, paycheck deductions, meal and rest breaks, and retaliation.
Illegal tip pooling, off-the-clock work, improper deductions, or pay below the applicable minimum wage could leave workers with unpaid wages. Salaried employees could also qualify for overtime because salary and job title alone do not determine whether an exemption applies.
Workers are generally protected from retaliation when they ask about their pay, report suspected wage violations, or exercise protected rights. The laws that apply could depend on location, job duties, employer, and the circumstances involved.
Josephson Dunlap can review what happened and explain the options that could be available.
