Are you aware of the common unpaid wages issues?

Unpaid wages includes deduction from salary or the overtime money that the company does not agree to pay. It is the part of your hard work and you have complete right on it. So many employers do not pay their workers properly.  It is the right of every employee to get the complete payment.

Employees face number of situation at workplace when they do not get complete payment despite of their work. The most common unpaid wages issues are-

  • Not paying the desired salary- in this situation, the employee does not get the fair salary or the employer refuses to pay the salary that the employee deserves. Paying less than the decided salary or not paying at time is also included in it.
     
  • Deduction from salary- in some situations, employers unnecessarily deducts money from the worker’s salary.  This is the most common unpaid wage issue in highly reputed companies.
     
  • No overtime pay-  despite the hard work of the worker, he fails to get the pay for the extra time, he worked at job
     
  • Refusing to pay bonus and commissions- bonus and commissions is every employee right. The employer even refuses to pay bonus that was pre decided.

It is illegal, if an employee agrees to work for extra time and the employer does not pay for it. Therefore, if an employee come across any kind of the aforementioned situation, it is advisable to take help from the professional unpaid overtime attorney.  The professional lawyers can help workers in filing proper lawsuit to get fair settlement for unpaid time and work.

On the other hand, the employees should also make efforts on getting the right amount of pay they deserves. For example- the worker can keep record of his/her working hours rather than depending on the employer. Moreover, majority of workplaces have their policy or procedure manual. So make sure to go through the manual carefully and keep a record safe with you.

However, if you feel that you are not being paid accordingly, then you should not hesitate to raise the issue or speak to higher authorities.
There are several other problems that the workers face and do not get proper compensation. All these conditions are violation of law.
