Wage & Hour Issues Attorney in Rockville, Maryland

There are numerous complex federal, state, and local laws that govern the compensation to which employees are entitled, including the Fair Labor Standards Act (which governs minimum wage and entitlement to overtime compensation), Maryland's and the District of Columbia's Wage Payment and Collection Laws and local county laws that often mandate payment of minimum wage that exceeds federal requirements. These laws impose substantial penalties for non-compliance — the Fair Labor Standards Act imposes nearly mandatory “liquidated damages” (i.e. double damages) and liability for attorney's fees for failure to pay minimum wage or overtime and the laws in Maryland and the District of Columbia are even more punitive.

Understand Your Rights & Obligations in Maryland

It is imperative that both employers and employees understand their respective rights and obligations with regard to compensation when the employment relationship begins and ends — for example, employees must be properly classified as “exempt” or “non-exempt” for overtime purposes and employers may be responsible to pay commissions long after the conclusion of the employment relationship. From the employer's perspective, wage and hour disputes can be among the most prevalent and costly issues confronting your business.
