FLSA Lawsuits, Investigations Rise More Than 35%

The employment attorneys at Morgan and Morgan are alerting employees to reports that the number of claims and investigations concerning the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) has increased more than 35% in three years. In 2010, there were approximately 6,800 FLSA cases in federal courts across the country, a number which increased from 5,000 in 2007. If you suspect your rights under the FLSA have been violated, you may have a claim against your employer. Visit http://www.usovertimelawyers.com/ today for more information and to receive a no cost, no obligation review of your claim. 

The FLSA governs overtime pay, minimum wage, record keeping and other employment standards affecting workers in the private sector, as well as those in local, state and federal governments. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) enforces the FLSA and investigates businesses to ensure compliance with this federal employment law. When an employer is suspected of violating the FLSA, affected employees can file a complaint with their nearest Wage and Hour Division office or contact a FLSA attorney for legal assistance. 

The wage and hour lawyers at Morgan and Morgan handle a number of claims stemming from FLSA violations, including those involving overtime pay and minimum wage. They have obtained an impressive track record of results, which includes a $10 million settlement for a national class of poultry workers, and remain committed to protecting the rights of employees who were subjected to employment law violations. If you suspect your rights under the FLSA have been violated, the employment lawyers at Morgan and Morgan are offering a free, no risk case evaluation at USOvertimeLawyers.com.
