Wage & Hour Violations

issues can be complex and unclear in many situations. Many employers try to cut corners in order to help their bottom line, leaving their employees underpaid and overworked.

Tips from Expert Wage & Hour Attorney Scott Perlmuter
Transcript: Hey, everybody! Scott Perlmuter here again today to drop some knowledge bombs on you about wage and hour issues. And the specific issue that I’m here to talk about today is: Common industries where we see violations of wage and hour laws run rampant. So, understand that under federal and state wage and hour laws, there are certain jobs and certain industries that the employers may be exempt, if they follow the rules, from paying their employees overtime. However, those are the industries where employees will cut corners, they’ll fudge the issues, they don’t know the nuances of the law, and therefore, they’ll call one of their employees or sets of employees exempt from overtime when they’re really not exempt from overtime. So, what industries are we seeing violations most commonly in? IT Industry, computer workers, network technicians, service technicians of any sort, cable workers for instance, big violators in that industry. Sales representatives, healthcare workers, home health nurses, tipped employees in the restaurant industry, big violators of wage and hour laws. Oil and gas field workers, bankers and mortgage brokers, big violations in that industry, specifically when it comes to commissions and bonuses, retail employees, big violations in that industry as well.
