Employees in Weymouth Township who have been denied overtime pay, underpaid, or improperly compensated may have legal options with help from Castronovo & McKinney, LLC. Our employment attorneys represent workers in wage and hour disputes involving unpaid wages, overtime violations, employee misclassification, and unlawful pay practices. We work to help employees recover the compensation they earned under New Jersey and federal wage laws.
Fighting Employer Wage Theft
New Jersey and federal laws require employers to pay employees properly, including overtime when applicable. Despite these protections, some employers in Weymouth Township and throughout New Jersey violate wage laws by misclassifying employees, refusing overtime payments, making improper deductions, or failing to pay earned wages.
If your employer has failed to pay you correctly, Castronovo & McKinney, LLC can help you understand your rights and pursue the compensation you may be entitled to recover.
Common Wage and Hour Violations We Handle
Minimum Wage Violations: Employers must comply with New Jersey’s minimum wage requirements. If you are paid less than the legally required rate, you may be entitled to recover unpaid wages.
Overtime Violations: Most employees who work more than 40 hours in a workweek are entitled to overtime pay at one-and-a-half times their regular rate. Employers who refuse to pay overtime may be violating state and federal wage laws.
Employee Misclassification: Some employers improperly classify workers as independent contractors or exempt employees to avoid paying overtime. We investigate these classifications and work to ensure employees receive the compensation they are owed.
Unlawful Deductions: Employers generally cannot make deductions for uniforms, equipment, shortages, or other expenses that reduce an employee’s pay below the required minimum wage.
Bounced Paychecks: Employers remain responsible for paying earned wages even if payroll checks are returned or cannot be cashed.
If your employer has withheld wages or violated wage laws, you may be able to file a claim or submit a complaint with the New Jersey Department of Labor. Because wage claims are subject to deadlines, it is important to seek legal guidance promptly.
Protect Your Right to Fair Pay
Whether you are paid hourly, salaried, or classified as an independent contractor, you may have rights under New Jersey wage laws and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Castronovo & McKinney, LLC helps employees evaluate wage disputes, challenge improper classifications, and pursue compensation for unpaid wages and overtime.
Our attorneys understand how employers attempt to avoid wage obligations. We are prepared to investigate your claim, gather evidence, negotiate with your employer, and pursue legal action when necessary.
