Case review map

Trace where the wages went

Wage theft can show up as unrecorded work, an unexplained deduction, or pay below the rate promised. Pinpoint the practice before comparing totals.

  1. Work performed

    List the shifts, tasks, and time that may be missing.

  2. Pay recorded

    Match each pay statement to the same workweek.

  3. Difference to review

    Mark missing hours, deductions, or rate changes separately.

Wage Theft Lawyers: situations to review

  • Hours worked but missing from time records
  • Overtime pay that does not match the workweek
  • Deductions or withheld earnings that need review

Identify the pay that may be missing

Missing hours, withheld pay or deductions you cannot explain? Identify the work and earnings involved in your wage-theft concern.

A wage review starts with the work you performed, the pay you received and the rules that apply to your job. Missing regular pay, off-the-clock work and unpaid overtime can raise different questions.

  1. Hours worked but missing from time records
  2. Overtime pay that does not match the workweek
  3. Deductions or withheld earnings that need review

Useful records for your case review

Keep records you already have lawful access to, including original dates. A short timeline is useful even when some documents are missing.

  1. Pay statements and the dates of missing payments
  2. Schedules, time records and your own notes of hours worked
  3. Pay agreements and messages about unpaid work

Regular pay, overtime and other earnings

Federal overtime rules generally apply to covered, nonexempt employees after 40 hours in a workweek. Job duties and applicable exemptions matter; being paid a salary alone does not settle eligibility. State law and the pay agreement may affect final wages, commissions and other earnings.

How It Works

  1. Share the timelineExplain what happened, where you worked and the key dates.
  2. Review the factsAn employment attorney can assess coverage, evidence and applicable deadlines.
  3. Understand your optionsReview potential next steps and representation terms before deciding how to proceed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can salaried employees be owed overtime?

Sometimes. The exemption rules consider job duties and other requirements, so salary alone does not answer the question.

What if my employer did not record all my hours?

Describe the tasks, dates and approximate time involved. Schedules, messages and your own notes can help an attorney understand missing time.

Are unpaid commissions the same as unpaid overtime?

They can involve different rules. Bring the commission agreement and payment history so the review can address each type of missing pay.

What should I prepare for a free consult?

Start with your employer, work location and a short timeline of what happened. The initial case evaluation is free; you can begin even if you do not have every document.
