Phoenix Fair Labor Standards Act Attorney
Get the Representation You Deserve for Workplace Disputes
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is vital federal legislation protecting workers' rights across the United States, including Phoenix, Arizona. Enacted in 1938, the FLSA sets minimum wage, overtime pay standards, and child labor protections. Despite its long history, some employers still violate these regulations, whether intentionally or out of ignorance, leaving many employees vulnerable. That's where Weiler Law PLLC comes in. Our employment law attorneys can help you receive your rightful compensation and protections.
The FLSA sets the federal minimum wage at $7.25 per hour, though many states and municipalities, including some in Arizona, have higher minimum wages. It also mandates overtime pay at one and a half times the regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a week. Special rules apply to specific categories of workers, such as tipped employees and agricultural workers, making it vital to understand these regulations.
Minimum Wage and Overtime Violations
One of the most common FLSA violations is the failure to pay employees the minimum wage or correctly calculate and pay overtime. Employers may misclassify employees as exempt from overtime rules or fail to keep accurate records of hours worked. These violations can significantly affect an employee's livelihood. At Weiler Law PLLC, we have a deep understanding of these issues and can meticulously investigate your employment situation to identify any violations.
Child Labor Provisions
The FLSA has strict regulations regarding child labor to ensure young workers are not exploited and are engaging in work appropriate for their age and education. Employers who violate these provisions may face severe penalties. If you suspect child labor laws are being broken, the attorneys at Weiler Law PLLC can offer guidance and support.
