Wage And Hour Lawyers Serving Middle Tennessee

If you put in the hours, you deserve every cent of your pay. Boston, Holt & Hoffmeyer, PLLC, has served Lawrenceburg, Lawrence County and Middle Tennessee for more than 70 years. Our Lawrenceburg wage and hour lawyers hold employers accountable under federal and Tennessee wage laws at no upfront cost.

Common Wage Violations In Middle Tennessee Workplaces

Wage and hour claims arise when an employer is not able to pay workers what the law requires. The Fair Labor Standards Act, or FLSA, sets federal standards for wages and overtime that apply to Tennessee workers. Employers often cut payroll corners quietly, leaving many workers to discover the violation only after losing significant wages.

Tennessee workers commonly face these wage violations:

  • Unpaid overtime: Not paying time-and-a-half for hours over 40 in a workweek
  • Off-the-clock work: Requiring work before or after clocking in without compensation
  • Meal break violations: Not paying workers who work through their breaks
  • Employee misclassification: Labeling workers as contractors or exempt employees to avoid overtime
  • Tip theft: Taking or redirecting tips employees lawfully earned

Acting quickly matters because the FLSA’s two-to-three-year statute of limitations caps how far back we can recover your losses. Our firm has won multimillion-dollar verdicts and appellate victories in Middle Tennessee.

What You Can Recover In A Wage And Hour Claim

Under federal law, you may recover your back pay plus potential liquidated damages up to an equal amount. Federal law also requires the employer to cover attorney fees, removing your financial risk. Tennessee and federal law prohibit employer retaliation. Your employer cannot fire, demote or cut your hours for asserting your wage rights. Retaliation creates a separate legal claim.
