Employment Attorneys in Gloucester County, New Jersey

Many people in Gloucester County are statutory employees instead of exempt workers. Statutory employees have certain pay protections under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and the New Jersey State Wage and Hour Law. Under federal law, covered U.S. employers are required to pay statutory employees a minimum of $7.25 per hour. However, New Jersey’s state law establishes a minimum wage of $10 per hour. Since the state minimum wage is higher, New Jersey employers are required to follow the state law.
