Everyone deserves to be paid fairly and on time. Unfortunately, some employers disregard Washington state employment laws and don’t pay their employees what they are owed, resulting in wage and hour violations. The Wage and Hour Attorneys at Emery | Reddy, PLLC are here to help you recover the wages to which you are legally entitled.
Common Types of Wage and Hour Violations
- Unpaid wages, or wage theft
- Failure to pay for off-the-clock work or overtime
- Improper payroll deductions
- Wage and compensation disputes
- Misclassification of employees as independent contractors to avoid paying overtime and other benefits
The laws for hourly wages, overtime, and other related areas include both state and federal regulations, including the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Washington Minimum Wage Act, the Washington Wage Payment Act, and dozens of other statutes and regulations. Thanks to these laws, Washington State ensures greater wage and hour protections than what is granted to workers under federal law. If it is found that your employer willfully withheld wages, you may be entitled to double the amount withheld.
