Overview

Wage and Hour Claims

If your employer is failing to pay you according to state and federal wage and hour laws, you have recourse. These laws set the minimum wage, as well as overtime pay requirements. There are also protections in place that establish employer obligations regarding lunch and break requirements. These laws are designed to protect employees.

What rights you have depends largely on what type of job you hold, how many hours you work, and how old you are. Although you can file your own wage and hour complaint in both Kentucky and Ohio, it may be in your best interest to consult with an attorney who can guide you through the process.

Do not let your employer take advantage of your hard work and dedication any longer. O'Hara, Taylor, Sloan, Cassidy, Beck, PLLC understands that you work hard every day, and you deserve to have your rights protected.
