Should I hire an employment attorney in Ohio if my boss isn’t paying me minimum wage?
While it may be too soon to determine if you need to employ an Ohio labor and employment lawyer just yet, it can’t hurt to receive your free case evaluation. When an employment law attorney provides you with a case review, they may go over some if not all of the following information.
- What your issue is?
- How long has it been going on for?
- Did you notify anyone in the Human Resources(HR) department yet?
- What outcome are you looking to obtain?
- Why do you think your employer isn’t compensating you?
There are many other important questions that are going to be asked, but you want to have the basic information regarding your matter ready to present. Once you sit down and speak with a knowledgeable labor law attorney that was recommended from our site, they will aid you in deciding whether or not you need an attorney at this stage of your matter.
What is the Bureau of Wage and Hour Administration?
As mentioned before, you do have the right in the state of Ohio to file a complaint against your employer with the Bureau which is a part of the Department of Commerce. If you do elect to file your complaint first, the Bureau will investigate the following types of complaints:
- The minimum age is not being paid out.
- Overtime pay is not being provided.
- Your employer is taking out unauthorized deductions.
- Your last paycheck is being held.
On the other hand, the Bureau will not assist you with the following:
- Collecting money for vacation pay
- Sick leave compensation
- Holiday time pay
- Other employment benefits that may have been promised to you.
- If you believe you were wrongfully terminated from your job.
- Your employer did not properly withhold taxes, social security, etc.
