A bulk of wage and hour violations involve failure to provide overtime compensation or employers wrongfully classifying their employees as independent contractors. At other times, employers wrongfully coerce their workers into working hours they do not claim, such as working from home or during lunch breaks. At Bedi Rindosh, we work to ensure that you are compensated for the hours you work because you deserve it.
If your employer knowingly, or even mistakenly, violates federal or New Jersey wage laws, you are entitled to the money you earned. Not all workers are entitled to overtime pay, however, and some workers—such as some seasonal employees, temporary employees, and independent contractors—are not necessarily entitled to overtime pay even if they work forty (40) hours a week.
New Jersey requires that employers give hourly employees a break and, practically speaking, workers should try to take their meal periods as close to the middle of their shift as possible. If your employer refuses to offer meal and rest breaks a required by law, you may be entitled to compensation.
