Hey! Without Scrooge, A Christmas Carol would be a pretty boring story.
00:05
Problem is, he's not the world's only terrible boss.
00:08
When an employer withholds wages that an employee has rightfully earned, there is legal action that can be taken.
00:15
First, you should be aware of some of the general things employers can and can't do.
00:22
Every employer must pay at least the hourly minimum wage for regular work time,
00:26
and at least time and a half for every hour worked over 40 per week.
00:30
An employer is additionally responsible for keeping equal wages for all employees with the same experience level,
00:36
no matter race or gender.
00:38
And improperly classifying employees, for example, someone classified as part-time when in reality they work full-time,
00:45
is also prohibited.
00:47
If you feel you have a case to make against your employer and decide to file,
00:51
you must first send a written notice to your employer stating your intentions.
00:56
If you're an employee of a large company that handles business across different states,
01:00
you're protected by something called the Fair Labor Standards Act.
01:05
This is overseen by the U.S. Department of Labor.
01:08
So, you have the option of pursuing your wage dispute federally, under these guidelines.
01:13
Otherwise, state minimum wage laws will most likely apply.
01:17
Another thing to keep in mind is that an employer doesn't owe any wages to an employee while a wage dispute is going on between them.
01:25
Now, sometimes wage laws are violated across whole workforces and company divisions.
01:31
Often in these instances, unions get involved and collective bargaining agreements come into play.
01:37
Now, not every worker is technically considered an employee
01:41
and therefore not protected under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
01:45
These include independent contractors, outside executive, administrative, and sales employees,
01:51
even if paid a salary, babysitters hired casually, and farm workers working on small farms, plus other exemptions.
02:00
Check with Human Resources to see if you are an exempted employee under FLSA or consult with LegalYou.
02:07
No matter how big the employer, you're as entitled under the law as they are,
02:12
and LegalYou is there to help you take them on.
02:15
