Brooks Law Group is currently handling unpaid wage cases on behalf of employees. In unpaid wage cases, employers illegally deprived employees of compensation in violation of the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Companies frequently violate the FLSA.
Under the FLSA, all employees have a right to payment for every hour they were “suffered or permitted to work.” The FLSA has federal minimum wage rules as well as overtime pay laws. Under these, employees have a right to one and a half times their regular rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in a week. The FLSA also establishes strict penalties on companies that violate its provisions. These penalties sometimes amount to as much as double back pay damages for companies acting in violation of the law.
Florida Statute Section 448 guarantees that an employee gets a minimum wage of $12 and each year it is increasing by $1 on September 30th until it reaches $15.00 in 2026 for every hour of work for their employer. If an employer has withheld wages from an employee, they may be entitled to:
- total past and unpaid wages
- and liquidated damages equal to their unpaid wages, attorneys’ fees, and costs.
We specialize in these types of cases. Any initial consultation with our Florida unpaid wages attorney is free. For more information, call us at 1-800-LAW-3030 (800-529-3030), or contact us by e-mail.
