You did the work. You’re owed the pay.
Unpaid overtime, off-the-clock work, misclassification, stolen tips, missing final paychecks — wage laws exist to get workers paid. An attorney can evaluate what you are owed.
Sound familiar?
Overtime that never appears
Working through lunch, answering messages after hours, prep time before shifts — much of it is legally compensable.
"Salaried" or "contractor" by label only
Misclassification denies overtime and benefits to workers who legally qualify as hourly employees.
The final paycheck never came
Most states have strict rules — and penalties — around timely payment of final wages.
How an attorney can help
- Calculate what you are actually owed, including overtime and penalties
- Evaluate misclassification as exempt or independent contractor
- File with the labor department or bring a claim in court
- Pursue liquidated damages and attorney’s fees where the law provides them
Worth knowing
Federal law sets a floor — minimum wage and overtime after 40 hours for non-exempt workers — and many states add stronger protections, penalties, and longer lookback periods. Wage laws also commonly make employers pay the worker’s attorney’s fees when claims succeed, which is why attorneys frequently take these cases at no upfront cost. An attorney can evaluate what you may be owed.

Common questions
I agreed to the pay arrangement. Can I still claim unpaid wages?
Often yes — minimum wage and overtime rights generally cannot be waived by agreement. An attorney can evaluate whether the arrangement was lawful regardless of what was agreed.
Can my employer punish me for raising a wage claim?
Retaliation for asserting wage rights is prohibited under federal and most state law. An attorney can explain the protections that apply to you.
How much does this service cost?
Nothing — CaseSolo Connect is free for people looking for a lawyer. Participating attorneys pay us for advertising, which is why this site is attorney advertising. Whether and how you would pay an attorney is between you and any attorney you choose to hire.
Is this legal advice?
No. Nothing on this site is legal advice, and using it does not create an attorney-client relationship. We are a paid attorney matching and advertising service — not a law firm and not a lawyer referral service.
Who sees my information?
Your contact details go only to the attorney who takes your inquiry — we do not sell your information to lists or send it to multiple firms. Our privacy policy describes exactly how your information is handled.
