Unpaid Wages Attorney In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Has Your Employer Failed To Pay You The Wages You Earned?

Both federal and state law mandate that employers compensate employees for wages earned, as well as compensate them for time and a half when they work an excess of forty (40) hours per week. The Pennsylvania Wage Payment and Collection Law and the Fair Labor Standards Act proscribe conduct that is unlawful on the part of employers. 


Our firm is well versed in handling claims under both of these statutes and other laws which govern employee compensation. 


Please feel free to call us for an evaluation of your matter.

What Can I Do in the Meantime?

You need to keep a record of all the hours you worked during the disputed period. Also, record all the expenses you incur because your paycheck was late. For instance, if you missed a credit card payment because you didn’t have the cash on hand to pay it, document any fees that the credit card company charged you. Armed with that evidence, your attorney will pursue every legal angle to help you get the back payment you deserve and recoup the expenses you incurred.

What if My Employer Refuses to Pay the Minimum Wage?

Employers must pay you at least the federal minimum wage. If your state’s minimum wage is higher than the federal one, they must pay you at the higher rate. Many employers try to take advantage of lower-wage workers, especially new immigrants that might not know their rights. You do have rights – no matter what your status. Don’t fear retribution from your employer. We’ll make them pay. If we find that the violation was willful, we will help you take your case to the proper law enforcement authorities to make sure your employer pays the full penalty of the law.
