EMPLOYMENT LAW AND UNPAID WAGES CLAIMS
Salomon Smith PLLC represents employers and employees in all aspects of employment law. The firm strives to resolve employment disputes with carefully drafted employment agreements based on recent legal developments. If necessary, the firm handles employment litigation matters before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, state and federal courts, and arbitration. We have successfully represented clients in matters involving workplace discrimination, retaliation, sexual harassment, and hostile work environment.
Unpaid wage claims are a particularly important area of employment law given the prevailing employee’s entitlement to double the unpaid wage, in addition to attorneys’ fees and costs. These disputes merit the special attention of employers and employees. The misclassification of employees as independent contractors and failure to pay overtime can likewise inflate recoveries for employees and expose employers.
All too often, employers and employees seek to handle these matters themselves without legal representation, resulting in poor outcomes.
