Wage and Hours Claims

Kathleen M. Sweeney - Indianapolis Wages and Hours Claims Lawyer

In today's uncertain labor market, employers are increasingly tempted to cut corners with their employees' compensation. In many cases, hourly workers are given inflated job titles in order to deny them overtime pay, or are required to work off the clock. If you believe that you are not receiving the full pay and benefits that you're entitled to, contact Indianapolis equal pay attorney Kathleen Sweeney.

She's thoroughly knowledgeable of state and federal compensation requirements under both the Indiana Wage Claims Statute and the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Indiana compensation attorney Kathleen Sweeney can help you collect your full pay under situations such as the following:

• 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 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.
