Problem is, he's not the world's only terrible boss.

When an employer withholds wages that an employee has rightfully earned,

there is legal action  that can be taken.

First, you should be aware of some of the general things

Every employer must pay at least the hourly minimum wage

for regular work time,  and at least time and a half

An employer is additionally responsible  for keeping equal wages

for all employees with the same experience level,

for example, someone classified as part time

when in reality they work full time,  is also prohibited.

If you feel you have a case to make against your employer

a written notice to your employer stating your intentions.

If you are an employee of a large company

that handles business  across different states,

you're protected by something called the Fair Labor Standards Act.

This is overseen by the US Department of Labor.

So you have the option  of pursuing your wage dispute

Otherwise, state minimum wage laws will most likely apply.

Another thing to keep in mind is that an employer

while a wage dispute  is going on between them.

Now, sometimes wage laws are violated across the whole workforces

Often in these instances, unions get involved.

And collective bargaining  agreements come into play.

Now, not every worker is  technically considered an employee,

and therefore not protected  under the Fair Labor Standards Act.

These include independent contractors,  outside executives, administrative,

and sales employees even if paid a salary.

Check with human resources  to see if you are an exempted employee

you're as entitled  under the law as they are.

And LegalYou is there  to help you take them on.
