Wage & Hour Litigation in NYC

Wage and hour violations in refer to instances where employers fail to adhere to federal, state, and local labor laws concerning minimum wage, overtime pay, meal and rest breaks, and record-keeping requirements. 

Common wage and hour violations include:

  • Minimum wage violations: Employers are required to pay their employees at least the applicable minimum wage rate. In New York, the minimum wage varies depending on the location and size of the company. Failure to pay the correct minimum wage can lead to violations.
  • Overtime pay violations: Non-exempt employees in New York are entitled to receive overtime pay at a rate of 1.5 times their regular hourly wage for any hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Misclassifying employees as exempt or failing to pay the proper overtime rate can result in violations.
  • Off-the-clock work violations: Employers must compensate employees for all hours worked, including time spent performing work duties before or after their scheduled shifts. Requiring employees to work off the clock without pay is a violation.
  • Meal and rest break violations: New York law mandates specific meal and rest break requirements, depending on the industry and shift length. Denying employees their required breaks or failing to pay for rest breaks when required can lead to violations.
  • Recordkeeping violations: Employers are required to maintain accurate records of employee hours worked, wages paid, and other employment-related information. Inaccurate or incomplete recordkeeping can result in violations.
