Indianapolis Employment Law Attorneys

Wage and Hour Claims Lawyers in Indianapolis, Indiana

The employment lawyers at Schembs Sweeney Indianapolis Law Firm have worked very closely with employees in Indianapolis who feel they are not receiving the pay and benefits they deserve from employers.  Our employment law attorneys have seen that in today's uncertain labor market, Indianapolis employers are increasingly tempted to cut corners with their employees' compensation. In many cases throughout Indianapolis, employers give hourly workers inflated job titles in order to deny them overtime pay, or require employees to work off the clock. If you believe that you are not receiving the full pay and benefits that you're entitled to, an Indianapolis employment law attorney at our firm can help you take the proper actions to remedy the problem. 

With over 20 years of experience practicing employment law in Indianapolis, our lawyers are thoroughly knowledgeable of state and federal compensation requirements under both the Indiana Wage Claims Statute and the federal Fair Labor Standards Act.  An Indianapolis wage and hours claims attorney at our firm can help you collect your full pay in the following situations:

• You work more than 40 hours in a week, but don't get paid overtime 
• Sales commissions remain unpaid, or you were fired prior to collecting your commissions
• Your employer requires you to work off the clock, change into a uniform or safety equipment, or perform other tasks essential to your work without paying you for the time
• Although your job title contains words like "supervisor" or "manager," you have no actual supervisory or managerial responsibilities

Workplace situations involving piecework, independent contractor status, or other types of arrangements might also involve wage and hour violations. Under Indiana law, if your employer denies a written demand for wages due to you, you can sue for double your unpaid wages, with the employer also liable for your attorney's fees.
