Columbus, Ohio, Labor Law Attorneys for FLSA Violations
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, record-keeping and child labor standards for nearly all workers in private sector jobs, as well as for jobs in federal, state and local governments. Many different workplaces are covered by the FLSA. These include hospitals, schools and large businesses that engage in interstate commerce.
The FLSA is meant to protect workers, keeping them from working too much without proper pay or breaks. If you believe that your work conditions violate the FLSA, it is a good idea to talk with a lawyer about your situation.
There are many different ways these businesses can violate the FLSA, including the ways listed below:
- Wage and hour violations
- Non-payment of overtime wages
- Denied breaks at work
- Misclassification of employees as independent contractors
- Misclassification of employees as exempt
- Failure to keep records of wages, hours and other items
