Many employers require employees to work off the clock, misclassify workers as salaried or pay a day rate, or wrongly classify workers as independent contractors to attempt to avoid paying overtime. If you feel you have unpaid wages, talk to the unpaid wages lawyers at Bohrer Brady.
Employers attempt to 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.
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 an experienced employment law attorney.
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).
