wage and hour claims
Wage and hour claims are assertions by an employee-plaintiff that their employer has failed to pay overtime wages owed to the employee.
Additional Information
Within the past several years, a number of high-profile, high-dollar wage and hour claims have been filed on a class action basis, a fact that has vastly increased the dollar amount payable under such lawsuits.
