How do employees pay their FLSA lawyers?
This is between the individual employees and the lawyers. Many FLSA lawyers will take FLSA cases on some variation of a “contingency fee.” This usually means that the employees pay no legal fees unless and until they win the case, and then fees are based on a percentage of the amount recovered. Successful FLSA plaintiffs are entitled to an attorneys’ fee award from the employer in addition to any other recovery. In this case, the Class Counsel will be paid on the basis of a contingency fee agreement, and will be paid a percentage of any recovery.
