Kansas City Attorneys for Off the Clock Work Employment Violations
A common way employers violate wage and hour laws is by not paying their employees for all the hours they have worked. Having employees stay late, come in early, work during lunch, or help on their days off are all examples in which employers may require employees to work off the clock. Failure to compensate employees for overtime work is usually illegal — and an employer may be held accountable in an employment law lawsuit for their violations. At Brady & Associates, our attorneys are committed to standing up for the rights of employees who have not been fairly compensated in accordance with the law.
Fighting for Your Right to the Wages You Are Entitled
Employers violate federal and state laws when they require their employees to work off the clock without being paid the wages they are owed. For example, the Kansas Wage Payment Act requires that an employer pay its employees for “all wages due” or being paid for all hours an employee worked. Additionally, the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) requires that employers pay you the federal minimum wage rate for all hours worked and pay you at the overtime rate of one and one-half times your regular hourly rate.
Requiring you to work off the clock without compensation may cause you to not be paid minimum wage for all hours worked and/or to not be paid overtime pay. If you have been required to perform off the clock work, you may have a claim under the FLSA or state laws. The skilled employment attorneys at Brady & Associates are dedicated to fighting for the rights of employees whose employers have wrongfully withheld their overtime wages or refused to pay them for the time they have worked.
