Your manager works a bartending shift. Can they take a cut of the tip pool?

The Department of Labor has confirmed that employees who qualify as managers or supervisors under federal law cannot receive tips from an employee tip pool, even when they spend a shift serving customers. Their overall job duties determine their status.

Think management is taking an improper share of your tips? Contact Wage & Hour Attorneys to discuss your rights.

If your paycheck is short, your coworkers’ paychecks might be, too.

Missing overtime and unpaid off-the-clock work can affect an entire team. When employees experience similar pay violations, they may be able to pursue their claims together. An FLSA collective action requires workers to affirmatively opt in.

One person asking questions can help uncover a much bigger problem.

Could overtime pay start after 32 hours instead of 40?

The proposed 32 Hour Workweek Act, reintroduced by Rep. Mark Takano and Sen. Bernie Sanders, would lower the federal weekly overtime threshold to 32 hours for covered, nonexempt employees. It is a proposal, not a law currently in effect.

Today, federal law generally requires covered, nonexempt employees to receive at least time and a half their regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek.

You don’t have to wait for a new law to stand up for wages you’re already owed. If your employer is withholding overtime pay or making you work off the clock, contact Wage & Hour Attorneys for a free consultation.

The people lost on September 11, 2001 were, above all, working people.

Cooks and servers. Janitors, elevator mechanics, and security officers. Traders, assistants, and flight crews. Firefighters, police officers, and EMTs who answered the call and never came home. And in the months that followed, ironworkers, operating engineers, laborers, and volunteers worked around the clock at Ground Zero.

On the 25th anniversary, we honor every worker who was lost, every worker who answered the call, and every family still living with the absence.

Happy Labor Day. Today we honor your hard work, and we remember what it stands for: the right to be paid fairly for ever...

Happy Labor Day. Today we honor your hard work, and we remember what it stands for: the right to be paid fairly for every hour you put in. Minimum wage, overtime, and off-the-clock work are not favors, they are the law. If you believe your employer has shorted your pay, you may be owed the wages you earned.

Are college athletes employees? A federal appeals court just said they can be.

The NCAA recently settled a $2.8 billion lawsuit with athletes over revenue sharing, but that settlement left one major question unanswered: are these athletes actually employees under the law? In a recent decision, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals found that NCAA athletes may qualify as employees under certain circumstances, and the issue could ultimately head to the Supreme Court.

Here is why it matters far beyond sports. The court applied the same longstanding economic-reality test used to determine employee status for truck drivers, warehouse workers, healthcare staff, and restaurant employees. If you have been misclassified, you may be owed unpaid wages, overtime, or other protections you never received.

You do not have to be an athlete to be affected. If you believe your employer has misclassified you or shorted your pay, our attorneys are ready to review your situation.

Your employer can call you an “independent contractor”, but that label doesn’t decide your legal rights.

If the company controls when, where, and how you work, you may actually be an employee. Misclassification can lead to unpaid overtime, minimum-wage violations, and other lost compensation.

Think you or your coworkers may be misclassified? Contact Wage & Hour Attorneys today.

Your boss calling overtime pay a “handout” doesn’t make it optional. 👀

For many nonexempt employees, federal law requires time-and-a-half pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. If you’re working late, answering emails off the clock, or regularly putting in extra hours without proper overtime pay, you may be owed unpaid wages.

Don’t assume your employer is calculating your paycheck correctly. Know what your time is worth.

Think you’ve been denied overtime or shorted on your wages? Contact Wage & Hour Attorneys today to discuss your situation.

Working through your lunch break? Answering emails after you clock out? That may not just be annoying. It could be illegal.

If your manager is pushing you to skip your scheduled lunch, come back early, or handle "quick" tasks off the clock, you may be dealing with a wage and hour violation. And when those unpaid minutes push you past 40 hours a week without time and a half, they could add up to something much bigger.

Here's what you can do instead of quitting:

📝 Start cataloging every instance of off the clock work you're being asked to do
⏰ Track any hours worked over 40 in a week where you weren't paid overtime
👀 Check whether your coworkers are experiencing the same thing
📞 Reach out to someone familiar with wage and hour law about your next steps

You may be owed compensation for the time you've already worked. Don't walk away from it.
