Michigan Unpaid Wages Attorney

State and Federal Law Prohibits Employers from Failing to Pay Earned Wages and Overtime

As an employee of any company, if you have carried out the responsibilities of your job, you are entitled to be paid fair compensation for that work. In the United States, the Fair Labor Standards Act covers both the areas of minimum wage and overtime pay. In Michigan, the Wage and Overtime Law is followed in conjunction with the federal law to safeguard the rights of all employees. We would advise you to consult with a Michigan employment law attorney if you are not being paid the current minimum wage or if your wages are being withheld unlawfully. Employers must be held accountable if they are intentionally violating these laws.

All personnel in the workforce deserve to make a decent living from their respective professions. Sommers Schwartz has the experience and familiarity regarding the legal proceedings dealt relating to claims for unpaid wages, so we form a strong case on your behalf.

It is very important to understand the policies your employer may be using in paying his or her employees. Whether it is a full-time or part-time position, whether you will be fairly compensated for the required training period, or whether your wage will be supplemented by tips are common issues our office handles.

Employers can sometimes take advantage of an employee's vulnerability and lack of specific knowledge concerning wages and employment laws. With the legal resources of a large and accomplished firm and the individual attention we offer, our services may prove invaluable in your unpaid wages claim.
