If you feel you have not been paid for the hours you’ve worked or you have not been paid overtime for working more than 40 hours a week, the good news is that it need not cost you anything to pursue your rights and to have a lawyer pursue them for you.
Speak to an attorney about what’s gone on in your particular circumstance and that attorney could help you to understand whether or not there’s a claim you can pursue and whether or not they’ll pursue it on your behalf. If they choose to, they may instruct you that they will not ask you to pay them directly but that their payment will come out of the settlement of the case or out of the verdict that the judge awards for your circumstances. In other words, very often, the employer is caused to pay for your legal fees, you don’t have to pay for them yourselves.
