Fear of Being Fired
I know I'm owed money, but will I get fired if I do anything about it?
That's a fair question that we often hear. Fortunately, the law makes it illegal for any employer to retaliate against an employee who demands their fair pay under the law. Companies are subject to both criminal and civil penalties for taking any action against an employee. Judges enforcing these laws come down hard on employers who retaliate against employees. You are armed with this hammer because the wage and overtime laws recognize there is an imbalance of power between employers and employees - that's why the law encourages you to speak up without fear of reprisal. If you are concerned about retaliation, your fears should be put to rest after reviewing the information on this site. We have represented hundreds of employees in wage disputes against their employers without any action taken against them.
Thinking about filing a complaint through the Department of Labor? Think Again.
Think twice before heading to the Department of Labor (DOL) for help. If your employer is violating the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and depriving you of the wages to which you are lawfully eligible, the Department of Labor has no motive to get you proper compensation. We currently represent employees who filed with the DOL, but received an offer that was unacceptable.
The WHD fails at enforcing FLSA regulations and helping the very people it was designed to protect and serve. If you happen to be one of the lucky few who make it through this agency, don't expect to receive the money you are owed. The WHD has no profit motive, and, therefore, has a record for settling cases for pennies on the dollar. We've seen it over and over again. A recent investigation, performed by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), exposed the ineffectiveness of the DOL's Wage and Hour Division (WHD). In the investigation, the GAO states that the WHD mishandled nine out of ten complaints by failing to return workers' calls, not investigating claims for months, dropping claims when employers said they couldn't or didn't want to pay, or by simply never filing the claims.
