Unpaid Wages
Employment Lawyers Representing Traverse City Residents
Federal and state wage and hour laws provide basic minimum standards that employers must follow. These laws cover what constitutes work time, when you should be paid, rest and meal breaks, tips, and overtime wages. Unfortunately, not all employers in Michigan understand these laws, and others understand the laws but willfully violate them. This can put employees in the unenviable position of needing to sue their employer to obtain the wages they rightfully earned.
If you are concerned that your employer has committed an employment violation, the Grand Rapids and Traverse City wage and hour attorneys at Neumann Law Group are here to help guide you toward a solution.
State and Federal Wage and Hour Laws
The Fair Labor Standards Act is the federal law that establishes rules for minimum wage, overtime pay, minors in the workplace, and recordkeeping for private employers and governmental employers. The minimum wage under federal law is currently $7.25 per hour, and overtime pay is 1 1/2 times the regular rate after an employee works 40 hours in a single workweek. However, employers in states that have a higher minimum wage need to pay the minimum wage that is more generous, and Michigan is one of those states.
