Wage & Hour Violations

Wage & Hour Violations

MGJustice Law Firm represents employees in Florida and Georgia who haven’t been paid what the law requires. We start by reviewing your actual job duties (not just your job title) against the FLSA’s exemption tests, your pay stubs and time records against the hours you actually worked, and whether your employer’s practices — like requiring off-the-clock prep work, unpaid meal breaks that aren’t truly breaks, or a fixed salary regardless of hours worked — cross the line into a wage violation.

Common wage violations include:

These claims frequently involve more than one affected employee, since misclassification and off-the-clock policies typically apply company-wide, which can support a collective action under the FLSA allowing coworkers to join the case. Damages under the FLSA include the unpaid wages themselves, and in most cases, an equal amount in liquidated damages — effectively doubling the recovery — plus attorneys’ fees.

Wage claims have a shorter shelf life than most employment claims: the FLSA’s statute of limitations is generally two years, or three years for willful violations, counting backward from when you file. Waiting to find out whether you have a claim can mean losing part of what you’re owed.
