Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) Lawyers

You may have a claim against a current or former employer for a wide variety of reasons involving wage and hour matters, such as:

• Unpaid Wages or Bonuses: If your employer does not promptly pay you all wages and bonuses you are due when your employment ends, you may have a claim for unpaid wages and penalties against them. Our lawyers investigate claims of unpaid wages and bonuses, and can review your case and determine how to proceed.
• Overtime: If you work more than 40 hours per week in most occupations, you must be paid time-and-a-half for the time in worked in excess of 40 hours. If you are not paid time-and-a-half for all work over 40 hours, you may have a claim against your employer for overtime violations. The law imposes strict record-keeping requirements on employers. Our attorneys can obtain and review documents to discover when overtime has gone unpaid.
• Tip Pooling: If your employer requires workers to share tips with manager(s), you may have a claim against your employer for wage and hour violations. Tip pooling could also result in a claim for minimum wage violations if your employer pays you less than minimum wage on an hourly basis based on a reduction for tips.
• Minimum Wage Violations: The minimum wage in Arizona is $7.25 per hour, with time-and-a-half for overtime (the time worked above 40 hours in a given work week). If your employer pays you less than minimum wage, you may have a claim against your employer. Minimum wage requirements also impose strict record-keeping requirements upon your employer and restrictions on pooling tips with managers.
