Wage And Hour Lawyer Fighting For Fair Pay In Detroit
Wage theft and hour violations continue to plague Michigan workplaces, affecting workers across all industries. If you are dealing with unpaid wages, overtime disputes or any other wage-related violations, you need an experienced Detroit wage and hour lawyer who will fight to protect your rights and recover the compensation you deserve.
I am Joel B. Sklar, and with over 35 years of experience in employment law, I have dedicated my career to fighting for workers facing wage violations throughout Detroit and Michigan. When employers try to deny your earned wages, I fight back with proven strategies and unwavering dedication to recover every dollar you are owed.
Understanding Your Rights Under Wage And Hour Laws
Federal and state wage and hour laws establish clear requirements for fair compensation. These laws mandate minimum wage standards, overtime pay requirements, and proper meal and rest periods. When employers violate these laws, workers have the right to recover their unpaid wages, plus potential penalties and interest.
Common Types Of Wage Theft
A wage and hour violation can significantly impact your financial stability. I work to help workers recover compensation for:
● Unpaid overtime and overtime violations
● Minimum wage violations
● Missed meal and rest breaks
● Off-the-clock work requirements
● Employee vs independent contractor misclassification
● Tip credit violations
● Unauthorized paycheck deductions
● Final paycheck violations
If you have experienced any of these employment law violations, do not wait to take action. Each day of delay could mean lost wages you cannot recover due to legal time limits.
How A Wage And Hour Lawyer Helps Recover Your Pay
As your advocate, I handle every aspect of your wage claim:
● Calculate all unpaid wages, overtime and penalties you are owed.
● Gather and analyze payroll records, time sheets and other evidence.
● Interview witnesses and document wage violations.
● File complaints with state and federal agencies.
● Negotiate with employers and their attorneys.
● Litigate your case in court when necessary.
● Protect you from retaliation for asserting your rights.
I have recovered substantial settlements for workers in manufacturing, construction, health care, retail, restaurants and other industries throughout Detroit. My deep understanding of industry-specific pay practices helps maximize your recovery.
