    We’re proud to fight for our neighbors. Meet the attorneys from your community.

    Before 1938, American employers took advantage of workers by paying substandard wages and forcing employees to work a considerable number of hours beyond what was then looked at as a typical work week. American workers had no legal grounds to fight their employers for implementing cruel workplace rules, such as requiring employees to work double shifts for several days in a row. The advantage American employers had over employees abruptly ended in 1938 when the United States Congress passed the landmark Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

    Considered a foundational law as part of the New Deal that addressed the economic calamity caused by the Great Depression, the FLSA contains numerous provisions that protect American employees against unfair labor practices. The two cornerstones of the FLSA establish a national minimum wage, as well as create the legal blueprint for addressing overtime issues. Despite the good intentions of the FLSA, the national minimum wage has consistently fallen below what many states mandate, as well as has not addressed the especially unpopular legal issue called mandatory overtime.

    Despite the provisions written into the FLSA to protect American employees against unfair labor practices, many employers continue to pay substandard wages for both regular and overtime pay. This is especially true for migrant workers who are not familiar with American labor laws. If you work for an employer who does pay you the required rate for overtime pay and/or violates another type of overtime law, you should speak with one of the best overtime lawyers in Charlotte, NC to receive advice on how to proceed with your case.
