Wage and Hour Claims

New England Lawyer Representing Employers in Wage and Hour Law

Obtaining fair compensation for your work is your right — and it is your greatest incentive to provide high quality work product for your employer. Yet, all too often employers fail or refuse to pay their employees the full amount required by law.

For example, many employers save money by improperly classifying workers as salaried (exempt) employees and denying them overtime pay. In another common situation, an employee leaves his or her position and the employer fails to pay the worker a required performance bonus or compensation for unused vacation time.

If your employer has not paid you the compensation you are entitled to for the job you have performed, you may have the right to file a complaint under wage and hour law.

At the Law Office of Terrence A. Low, we serve workers throughout Western Massachusetts and in the greater Hartford, Connecticut, area. If you have a question or concern about wage and hour law, disability insurance, or another area of employment law, contact Terry Low for a free initial consultation.

Protecting the Rights of New England Workers

Attorney Terry Low has been protecting the rights of New England workers since 1984. His work extends to assisting corporate and government employees, white-collar professionals, and other workers with wage and hour law when their employers fail to pay them the compensation they are owed. These claims can arise from a variety of circumstances, including:

• Failure to remit vacation or remaining sick pay earned by an employee who leaves or is dismissed from a position
• Failure to pay overtime to nonexempt employees who are entitled to it
• Refusal to abide by the Family and Medical Leave Act, which requires most companies with over 50 employees to grant time off without reprisal to those with any of numerous valid medical reasons impacting their families
• Other violations of wage and hour laws and other applicable labor laws

Applying Employment Law to Support Unpaid or Underpaid Workers

Both federal and state wage and hour laws may apply to your claim. Although these claims do not fit the category of disability insurance, Terry Low is well equipped to pursue them as part of his whole-client approach to securing all available compensation and benefits for disabled American workers and their families.
