Harassment

Harassment consists of constant prejudicial treatment on account of a protected status. One of the most common forms of harassment is sexual harassment. It consists of sexual slurs or innuendo, inappropriate contact, groping, etc. 

Unpaid Wages

If you feel that your employer is not treating you fairly, or that a former employer owes you back wages or unpaid compensation for overtime and other work, you need to take action. Prompt attention to the situation can help you recover the money you are owed, so you can stay financially solvent while your employer is held legally responsible. For more information, go to our Wage and Hour Claims page.

  • Unpaid Overtime

Many employers require employees to work off the clock or misclassify workers as salaried or pay a day rate or wrongly classify workers as Independent Contractors to avoid paying overtime. If you feel you have unpaid wages, talk to the employment law attorneys at Bohrer Brady.

  • Employment Misclassification

Employers can save significant amounts of money by classifying employees as “exempt” or as Independent Contractors and thereby not paying them overtime. Unfortunately, many employers misclassify employees for that reason — taking advantage of their employees’ hard work without having to pay them the wages they are due.

  • Off-the-Clock Claims

Requiring employees to work off the clock is a win for businesses — employees further the company’s interests without costing it a dime. Requiring off-the-clock labor without pay, however, is wage theft, and it is illegal under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

  • Pay for Training

Employers often require orientation, training for specific tasks, or training related to issues like sexual harassment. That’s fine—unless they expect employees to attend training without paying them for their time and efforts. If this has happened to you, it is wage theft, and it is important to consult with our experienced employment law attorneys.
