Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) Attorneys

If your rights under the FLSA save been violated, the employment law attorneys at Swartz Swidler might help you to collect what you are rightfully owed.
Minimum Wage Attorneys
Non-exempt employees in New Jersey have wage and hour protections under both federal and state laws. The Fair Labor Standards Act and its amendments provide some federal protections. Workers in the state are also protected by the New Jersey State Wage and Hour Law, which provides additional protections as well. Under both the federal and state laws, employers are required to pay a minimum hourly wage and overtime to non-exempt employees. If your employer has violated either the FLSA or its amendments, the attorneys at Swartz Swidler may help you to recover everything that you are owed.
Unpaid Overtime Attorneys
In New Jersey, Pennsylvania and across the nation, non-exempt workers are entitled to receive overtime pay for all of the hours that they work in excess of 40 in a workweek under state and federal overtime laws. Some employers engage in unfair labor practices, including failing to pay for overtime that their employees should receive. Others engage in unfair labor practices to try to avoid paying FLSA overtime by misclassifying their employees as independent contractors or exempt workers.
