Understanding Your Rights
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is an important federal law that establishes minimum wages, regulates overtime pay and governs other aspects of employee compensation. Indiana law also reinforces these rights.
Despite the requirements of the law, however, employers still sometimes violate the rights of employees through:
- Failure to pay a correct wage for hours worked, which may lead to minimum wage violations and unlawful off-the-clock work requirements
- Refusal to pay overtime for employees who qualify
- Failure to properly categorize employees, which can deprive you of your right to overtime pay
- Refusal to timely pay employees, for example, by withholding your last paycheck after you left the company
- Equal Pay Act violations, which are a type of sex discrimination
Whether these wage-and-hour violations happen by accident or design, as an employee, you shouldn’t have to bear the burden of inadequate pay. Nor should you suffer from work-related retaliation as a result of enforcing your legal rights.
