Were You Denied a Fair Wage?/
Thousands of workers in Florida are wrongly denied overtime pay, paid less than minimum wage, denied tips or commissions and otherwise deprived of entitled compensation. Whether intentional or by mistake, these are violations of federal and state labor laws.
The Tampa attorneys of Feldman Legal Group help employees denied a fair wage. We advocate for workers across Florida and Georgia in wage and hour claims. We represent employees who have been misinformed, misclassified or flatly cheated out of the pay they deserve. Our legal team has recovered substantial back pay and penalties on behalf of individuals and groups of employees.
Wage & Hour Disputes
The federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and similar state laws establish certain basic rights of employees, as well as a legal process to remedy violations of those rights.
Minimum Wage
Florida’s minimum wage is $8.25. Georgia’s minimum wage is $7.25.
Tipped Employees
Must be paid at least $5.23 per hour and cannot earn less than minimum wage between wages and tips.
Overtime Pay
Employees are entitled to overtime pay for any hours beyond 40 in a week.
Misclassification
Many salaried workers and independent contractors who are denied overtime are misclassified.
Our experienced Tampa employment lawyers offer skilled enforcement of your rights under the FLSA and Florida laws if you were denied a fair wage. We will pursue of punitive damages if your employer retaliates after you bring a wage claim. We can confirm whether you are owed additional compensation and take action to retrieve it through a negotiated settlement or at trial.
