Employers often violate three categories of the wage and hour requirements: unpaid wages, unpaid overtime wages, and failure to meet minimum wage requirements. Some of the common causes of wage and hour violations include:

• Employees:
  • are misclassified as “exempt” from receiving overtime pay
  • are not provided an uninterrupted meal break and rest period
• Employer failed to provide:
  
  • Proper pay stubs with all required information (generally including gross wages earned, total hours worked, all deductions, separately itemized, employee's name and social security number, employer's name and address, and all applicable hourly rates during the payroll period).
