The Houston unfair wage attorneys in our office were pleased to see a recent article in the Connecticut Law Tribune about how individuals can speak up if they feel they are not being treated fairly when it comes to their wages.
The article focuses on the Fair Labor Standards Act's "anti-retaliation" provision, which prevents an employer from discriminating against or firing an employee if that employee has brought a complaint against the company for violating his or her rights under FLSA.
A Supreme Court decision found that the complaint does not have to be in writing - a verbal complaint about FLSA violations should still prevent the complaining employee from being fired or discriminated against.
The lawyers at Kennedy Hodges frequently encounter workers who are receiving unfair wages, are not being given their earned overtime pay, or are being forced to participate in tip pools. Yet they still do not speak up because they are afraid of losing their jobs.
