Tennessee Employee Rights Attorneys at Greg Coleman Law are Currently Investigating Wage Violation Claims
Knoxville, Tenn. (PRWEB) November 25, 2014 -- Tennessee law firm Greg Coleman Law is currently accepting wage violation claims on behalf of employees who allege that their employer is violating the Fair Labor Standards Act.
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is a law that establishes standards for minimum wage, overtime pay and labor conditions. Employers who fail to legally compensate their employees can be forced to pay all of the back pay that they owe their employees.
Examples of wage violations include:
• Failing to pay compensable time
• Failing to pay for vacation time
• Paying compensatory time instead of overtime pay
• Improper time tracking
According a study by the U.S. Government of Accountability Office published on Dec. 18, 2013, approximately 97 percent of FLSA lawsuits filed in 2012 were against private sector employers. Additionally, 95 percent of the lawsuits filed included allegations of overtime violations. According to data from the U.S. Courts, the number of Fair Labor Standards Act lawsuits filed between 2010 and 2011 increased by 15 percent.
It is important that employees become familiar with the Fair Labor Standards Act in order to recognize if their employer is failing to compensate them for hours worked.
