Wage & Hour
Employers are bound by New York and Federal labor laws. If your rights have been violated, we will fight to make it right.
Wage & Hour Attorney in Buffalo, NY
New York has some of the strongest wage and hour protections in the country. Under the New York Labor Law and the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), employers are required to pay employees at least the minimum wage, pay overtime at 1.5x the regular rate for hours over 40 per week, and accurately track and compensate all hours worked.
Many Buffalo-area workers are underpaid without even knowing it. Misclassification as an independent contractor or salaried exempt employee is one of the most common ways employers avoid paying overtime. If you suspect your employer has violated your wage rights, Gomez Law can evaluate your case — and if you have a claim, you may be entitled to back pay, liquidated damages, and attorney's fees.
Common Wage & Hour Violations
You may be owed back pay. New York allows employees to recover up to 6 years of unpaid wages under state law. Do not let your employer keep money that is rightfully yours — contact Gomez Law today for a free consultation with a Buffalo wage and hour attorney.
