What are my rights regarding wages and hours?
Federal and state labor laws govern workers’ wages, hours, and special rules for underage workers. These labor laws, which cover issues such as minimum wage, overtime, time off, and child labor, apply to the vast majority of employers. However, since some employers may be exempt, and since the laws vary state to state, it is best to secure an experienced employment law attorney if you believe your employer is violating your rights as an employee.
