Unpaid Wages Lawyers

Unpaid Wages Lawyers: Our Attorneys are Reviewing Claims for Workers

Alonso Krangle LLP, a leading law firm dedicated to protecting the rights of employees, is currently evaluating unpaid wage lawsuits on behalf of employees illegally deprived of compensation in violation of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

Employers are required by law to pay workers for all of the time they spend performing work. Our investigation of wage practices has found that they routinely violate this legal requirement by:

  • Refusing to pay an employee for time spent on site donning and doffing uniforms or otherwise preparing for work.
  • Refusing to pay employees for time spent attending mandatory meetings, orientation, or training sessions.
  • Deducting expenses for uniforms, other equipment from an employee’s pay.

Our unpaid wage lawyers at Alonso Krangle, LLP, offer free, no-obligation, and confidential legal consultations to employees who were illegally denied rightfully earned wages in violation of the FLSA. To discuss your potential wage violation lawsuit, please call us at 800-403-6191or fill out the form on this page.

What Does the FLSA Say About Your Wages?

Under the FLSA, your employer is legally required to pay you for every hour you are “suffered” or “permitted” work. The FLSA also establishes federal baseline minimum wage and overtime rules. States have minimum wage laws as well, which are often higher than the federal wage.

Under the overtime provisions of the FLSA, employees are entitled to one and a half times their regular rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in a week.

The FLSA also creates strict penalties for companies that violate its provisions. Employers often have to pay as much as double back pay damages when they are found guilty of violating wage and hour laws.

Taking a Closer Look at Your Legal Rights to Wages

Wages When Donning and Doffing Uniforms

Under the FLSA, employers must pay employees, such as security guards, food processors, or factory workers, for all hours worked. This includes any “off-the-clock” time or pre or post shift work that an employee such as a security guard spends before or after a shift preparing to work, including the time spent donning doffing a required uniform, protective gear, and safety equipment.

Employees who have been denied pay for all time spent at work may be entitled to back pay and other damages. If the time spent preparing for work causes a worker to work over 40 hours per week, they may also be entitled to compensation at overtime rates.

Wages for Attending Off-Hour Mandatory Training Sessions, Orientation, and Meetings

It may violate the FLSA if an employer fails to pay employees for time spent at off-hours training sessions, orientation sessions, or meetings.

Under the FLSA, the only time attendance at off-hours activities need not be counted as working time is if ALL four of the following criteria are met:

  • The activity is outside normal hours
  • The activity is voluntary
  • The activity is not job-related
  • No other work is concurrently performed during the activity
Payment for Uniforms, Tools, and Other Equipment

The FLSA does not allow uniforms or other items, which are considered to be primarily for the benefit or convenience of the employer, to be included as wages. In other words, payment for these things should probably not come out of your paycheck.

Are You Entitled to File an Unpaid Wage Lawsuit?

Unpaid Wages LawsuitUnder the FLSA, any employee who is illegally denied their rightfully earned wages, including overtime, may file a lawsuit. You might be able to obtain back pay plus an equal amount as liquidated damages. You can also recover attorney’s fees and court costs.

Workers are often able to obtain up to two years of unpaid wages. If your employer intentionally violated wage and hour laws, you might be able to collect up to three years of unpaid wages.

Like To Express My Appreciation To You And Your Firm
I just would like to express my appreciation to you and your firm for assisting me with this matter. I am now a single mother of six children and I have been going through so much financial strife. I did not know how I would get school supplies for my children so I have been working two jobs to try to gain some extra funds. This is a blessing to me and my children. Thank you again for all you guys have done for us.

You’ll be in good hands!

I was involved in an accident and needed a good Personal Injury Attorney. A friend referred me to David Krangle of Alonso Krangle LLP. After my initial phone conversation with David, I was confident that I found the right Attorney. David was not only extremely thorough, he kept me updated on every stage of my case. Most importantly, he was always available for questions and followed-up promptly. In most cases, the same day. Since there was a 3-hour time zone difference, I was very appreciative from a client stand point.

With his expertise and guidance, I had a successful outcome. I felt very fortunate that David and his wonderful staff represented me.

If you ever find yourself in need of expert legal advice and guidance. I highly recommend you contact David Krangle of Alonso Krangle LLP. You’ll be in good hands!

Strongly Recommend Alonso Krangle As a Highly Experienced And Respected Firm

I consulted a close friend and well respected lawyer in the mid-Atlantic region regarding my hip revision surgery due to a medical device recall. Without hesitation, he strongly recommended contacting Alonso Krangle LLP to discuss my case. In his view, Alonso Krangle possessed extensive knowledge and experience in the type of litigation my case required, as well the respect of those throughout the judicial field for their professionalism. Equally as important, their personal focus on each individual’s case gives the client a feeling they are their only concern. My friend’s assessment could not have been more accurate.

Although in New York, Alonso Krangle could not have been more responsive or accommodating if they were located here in Virginia. I cannot recall a single time when my wife or I called their office and did not speak to either Andres Alonso or David Krangle. They were always completely available and ready to answer any and all of our questions. Their advice and recommendations were always honest, sincere, and accurate enabling us to plan accordingly. Legal proceedings can be a long process, but we never felt left out or forgotten thanks to timely updates initiated by Alonso Krangle. In the end, everything turned out as Alonso Krangle estimated from the beginning. I could not have expected better personal attention or concern from a family member handling my case. As with my friend, I too, would not hesitate to strongly recommend Alonso Krangle as a highly experienced and respected firm that will treat you like family.

We were very fortunate to meet David Krangle
My husband and myself had been involved in a multiple vehicle accident 5 years ago. At that time we were given the name of Mr. David Krangle, attorney. It took close to 5 years of very diligent work for Mr Krangle to complete our case to everyone’s satisfaction. During those years of endless hours and hours of work that he put into our case yet whenever we reached out to Dave (as the years allowed us to call him) he was always available to us. His patience did seem endless. His professionalism in researching everything to make our turnout perfect for us was everything we expected and let us rest knowing things are following the right path. I know we were treated with the utmost respect from various insurance companies and other attorney’s because that was something Mr Krangle made sure of. In difficult times it can be intimidating to work with a professional but we were very fortunate to meet David Krangle who had the ability to share warmth and compassion with us during a trying time. Those are traits that we admired in David Krangle and are delighted to have worked with him.

Dave Krangle Worked Restlessly On This Case Until We Won
I consider David Krangle as my attorney for many years now. Going back about 13 years ago my father was involved in a hit and run accident. David had gone the extra mile to win our case….. Mr. David Krangle worked restlessly on this case until we won the case. Since then, if anybody asks for a good attorney I recommend David Krangle with confidence. He has helped a number of my friends and relatives and they all appreciated his professionalism, prompt responses to any inquiry during case development, careful study of all details pertaining to their case. He treats his clients as family. Thank you, Mr. Krangle, wishing you a continued success, good health and prosperity.

Absolutely Instrumental in Helping Me Expose Medicare Fraud That My Former Employer Was Engaging In
When you have to fight Goliath you better call David. Dave was absolutely instrumental in helping me expose Medicare fraud that my former employer (one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world) was engaging in. Dave took the time to listen to my concerns and my evidence. He worked tirelessly to bring the best resources to table so that our case would be investigated thoroughly and prosecuted. In the end, the Goliath was defeated thanks to Dave!
