Lawsuits over Small Wage and Hour Claims

Read this article carefully if you have even one employee. It just goes to show that there are too many lawyers in this country. Time to save college money by closing some of the law schools.

Highlights:

  • they're happy to find 10 or 15 employees working off the clock or due unpaid overtime.
  • So the employee might get $10,000 but the attorneys' take could easily amount to as much as $100.000.
  • remember that for a Title VII claim, you have to have 15 employees, but for wage and hour Fair Labor Standards Act violations, just one employee is enough.
