Phoenix Overtime & Minimum Wage Attorneys

As a worker, you deserve to be paid what the law entitles you to. State and federal laws set various rules regarding the payment of workers.

Victims of overtime and minimum wage violations have rights. At Weiler Law PLLC, we are committed to protecting employee rights. We help individuals in the Greater Phoenix area in wage and hour disputes with their employers. Our attorneys help our clients understand what their rights are and pursue the remedies that state and federal laws make available.

Guiding You Through All Stages of Your Overtime or Minimum Wage Claim

Federal labor laws such as the Fair Labor Standards Act set the overtime rules here in Arizona. Under these laws, employees who work excess hours beyond 40 hours a week are typically entitled to overtime pay.

Arizona law sets the minimum wage at $10 per hour. Some workers, such as those who commonly receive tips, are subject to special rules when it comes to state minimum wage law.

Our lawyers understand the complexity of determining whether a violation of minimum wage or overtime law has occurred and have detailed knowledge of the specifics of federal overtime laws and Arizona minimum wage law. We can conduct detailed investigations, including pay stub reviews, to help you know if your employer has been paying you less than it is required to under these laws.

If your wage rights and civil rights have been violated, we will fight to help you get the appropriate legal remedies.

• Filing a letter of demand
• Filing complaints
• Negotiating with your employer
• If necessary, bringing your case to trial, as our attorneys have very strong litigation skills
