While your employer has rights, you do as well and it is extremely important that you become aware of exactly what these rights are. If your employer isn’t providing you with the compensation stated in the terms of your employment agreement or they failed to pay you overtime for the additional hours you worked, you either need to inform them of this issue or allow a Texas employment and labor law attorney to step in to try and rectify the situation before taking any further legal action. Sometimes all it takes is for an employer to learn that you are working with a labor law attorney and they might reconsider holding onto the income you rightfully earned.
Can I File a Complaint Against my Employer if I am Being Underpaid?
Perhaps you aren’t the only one struggling with the issue of being underpaid. If there are other workers including yourself who wish to file a complaint against the company or the employer themselves, you can do so through the Wage and Hour Division of the United States Department of Labor. There are various offices located in the state of Texas and depending on where you work, you are going to want to choose the office that is closest to you. Below is a list of these offices and their corresponding phone numbers for your convenience.
