NOT BEING PAID FOR THE HOURS YOU WORK?

CONTACT AN UNPAID WAGES LAWYERS IN FLORIDA TODAY!

Experienced unpaid wages lawyers have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to stand up to managers and business owners that do not pay their employees what they are lawfully owed.

Your unpaid wages lawyer can file a claim for violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), and similar legislation that protects workers across the state and throughout the U.S. These violations are taken very seriously by the U.S. Department of Labor and the State of Florida and can include severe penalties for employers.

Not being paid for your wages can come in many forms. Here are just some examples:

• Unpaid bonuses and commissions
• Back pay
• Earned vacation time
• Unpaid final checks
• Paying less than the current minimum wage ($8.65 per hour; $5.63 per hour for tipped employees – Florida January 1,2021)
• Unpaid tips

If you are owed for unpaid wages in Florida, an attorney can help you recover what you’re entitled to, such as:

• Back wages, unpaid vacation time, bonuses, commissions, and tips
• Overtime – 1 ½ times regular pay past 40 hours worked per week (including some salaried positions)
• Liquidated damages which double the amount you are owed (a penalty for employers who violate employment laws such as the FLSA). Example: If you are owed $5,000, the liquidated damages would bring the total you are owed to $10,000.
