Fair Pay for Your Hard Work
You deserve to be paid for every hour you spend on the job. Unfortunately, some employers cut corners to save money, often without workers realizing they’re being improperly paid. At Habush Habush & Rottier, we believe that honest work deserves honest pay. Our team of wage and overtime claims lawyers helps Wisconsin workers recover the earnings they are legally owed. We stand up to companies that try to bend the rules so that you can secure the financial stability you have earned.
Understanding Your Salary
Many workers think that if they have a salary, they can’t get overtime pay. This is not always correct. Many employers classify workers as “exempt” because they get paid a fixed weekly amount. However, the law focuses on job duties, not how you receive pay. If your role does not include managing employees or making key business decisions, you may qualify for overtime. Our wage and overtime claims attorneys can review your job description to determine whether you have been misclassified. If you have been, you could be owed significant back pay for all the extra hours you have worked.
Hidden Hours Add Up
You may not know how much you are owed in unpaid wages. Small amounts of unpaid time can grow into large losses. This can include being asked to put on safety gear before clocking in, working through a lunch break, or traveling between job sites without pay. Even 15 minutes of unpaid work a day can amount to weeks of lost wages over the course of a year. Just as a personal injury lawyer works to restore your physical well-being, our employment team works to restore your financial health by correcting these unfair practices.
Protecting Your Rights
Many workers are afraid to speak up because they worry about losing their jobs. The law protects you from being punished for asking questions about your pay or filing a complaint. Your boss cannot fire you, lower your pay, or treat you poorly for standing up for your rights. We’re here to protect you and make sure you are treated fairly. We talk to your employer and handle your legal matters, so you can keep working without fearing for your job.
