Unpaid wages and overtime: Disputes may involve regular wages, overtime, off-the-clock work, travel time, reporting time, training time, and other compensable work.

Meal and rest breaks: Claims may involve missed, late, short, interrupted, or discouraged breaks, plus related premium pay issues.

Final pay and wage statements: Issues may involve final checks, waiting time penalties, itemized wage statements, deductions, commissions, bonuses, and expense reimbursement.

Misclassification: Disputes may involve exempt versus nonexempt status, independent contractor classification, managerial duties, and actual job functions.

Frequently asked questions

What records matter in a wage and hour case?

Important records may include pay stubs, time records, schedules, handbooks, emails, text messages, commission plans, expense records, job descriptions, and notes about hours or missed breaks.

Can wage claims involve both individual and group issues?

Yes. Some wage issues affect one person, while others may involve policies or practices that affect a group of workers.

Why do job duties matter in misclassification disputes?

Job duties can help determine whether an exemption or contractor classification fits the actual work performed.
