Our skill lies in navigating the complex terrain of wage and hour law, ensuring that our clients are not only compliant with current regulations but also safeguarded against potential claims. We understand that wage and hour disputes are more than just a legal challenge; they can affect your company’s reputation and financial health. That’s why we offer comprehensive counsel and robust defense strategies tailored to the specific needs of your business.
We provide authoritative guidance on a wide range of employment law issues, from overtime pay and minimum wage requirements to record-keeping and employee classification.

We can also represent individual C-suite employees regarding wage and hour issues in Florida.
Advising Employers Of Their Rights Under U.S. Wage And Hour Laws
When it comes to wage and hour laws, it is crucial for employers to understand their rights and obligations under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and other relevant legislation. The FLSA holds employers accountable for the proper treatment of their employees when it comes to wages paid and overtime honored. It also imposes record-keeping requirements and child labor standards.
Many states, including Florida, have additional wage and employment laws. Florida is among several states that allow a lower minimum wage for tipped employees. Employee misclassification is another major area of dispute when it comes to wages. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) recently published new guidelines for determining who is and who is not an independent contractor.
It’s important to note that search and seizure rights typically fall under criminal law and are not commonly associated with wage and hour law. Despite this, we recognize that employers may have concerns about various legal intersections, and we are prepared to address these with the utmost competence and clarity. Our employment lawyers have the knowledge to elaborate on employers’ rights under the law.
