Fighting Employer Wage Theft

Federal and New Jersey laws guarantee overtime pay and fair wages. Yet many employers in Hammonton continue to ignore these protections—misclassifying workers, avoiding overtime payments, or issuing improper deductions. If your employer has failed to pay you correctly, we’ll help you hold them accountable.

Common Violations We Handle

Minimum Wage Violations: Employers must pay at least $14.13/hour under New Jersey law. Any shortfall entitles you to back pay.
Overtime Violations: Employees working over 40 hours per week must receive 1.5x their regular pay. Refusal to pay overtime is illegal.
Misclassification: Many workers are improperly labeled as independent contractors or exempt employees to avoid paying overtime. We challenge these classifications to secure full compensation.
Unlawful Deductions: Deductions for items like uniforms or equipment that reduce pay below minimum wage are prohibited.
Bounced Paychecks: Employers remain fully responsible for payment—even when their checks bounce.

If you believe your wages have been stolen or mishandled, you may be eligible to file a legal claim or submit a complaint to the New Jersey Department of Labor. These cases are time-sensitive, so acting promptly is critical.
