Wage & Hour Litigation
Wage and Hour Litigation
Wage Dispute Litigation
Greater Philadelphia · Pennsylvania · New Jersey
It is easy to run afoul of state and federal minimum wage, overtime, and employee benefits laws, especially if your
personnel structure relies on temporary or part-time employees. If you need advice or representation about
managing your liability risk or defending your interests in wage or overtime disputes, contact an experienced
employment law attorney at Wynn McGarry in our Suburban Philadelphia office.
We can review your current employee classification structure and identify any problems you can anticipate with
respect to miscategorized supervisors, managers, or professionals. Many workers will fall into a gray area between
the bright lines dividing hourly employees from salaried professionals or supervisors. We can advise you of the risks
involved with any particular classification method, and show you how you can avoid wage disputes or liability on
overtime pay or work hours claims.
Other areas that can expose an employer to litigation risk include meal breaks, rest breaks, vacation and sick leave
policies, and expense reimbursement. Our experience with advising employers of all sizes in many industries can
help you establish and enforce procedures that will satisfy your obligations while promoting employee morale.
Employers who depend upon a mobile sales force paid on commission can run into problems with disputes over
unpaid commissions--especially at termination--or when the company tries to change the commission structure.
Our lawyers can advise you of your rights and obligations and help you document any new commission
arrangements clearly.
Because few unpaid wage or overtime disputes involve sums large enough to justify litigation on behalf of a single
employee, litigation of such claims is often conducted on a class action basis, and the aggregate exposure to the
employer can be very substantial. The employment litigation attorneys of Wynn McGarry are experienced in the
defense of employee class actions, and can protect your interests in state or federal court.
For further information about avoiding liability or defending a lawsuit on employee compensation issues, contact a
knowledgeable Pennsylvania wage and hours attorney at Wynn McGarry in Suburban Philadelphia.
