Zatuchni & Associates Offers Legal Expertise on Wage & Hour Disputes and Unpaid Overtime Claims

Renowned New Jersey employment law firm provides personalized and aggressive legal representation to employees facing wage and hour violations.

LAMBERTVILLE, NJ, UNITED STATES, September 10, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Zatuchni & Associates, a leading employment law firm in New Jersey, is committed to protecting the rights of employees who have been victims of wage and hour disputes and unpaid overtime claims. Led by Founder and Managing Attorney David Zatuchni, the firm is dedicated to protecting the rights of employees facing unfair treatment in the workplace.

Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and New Jersey state laws, employees are entitled to fair compensation for all hours worked. However, many workers remain unaware of their rights, leading to frequent issues such as overtime abuse and incorrect classification of employment status. Zatuchni & Associates is committed to ensuring that employees receive the compensation they are legally owed and are not exploited by unethical practices.

“The rights of workers to fair pay are fundamental, and it’s crucial for employees to understand these protections,” said David Zatuchni. “Our firm is dedicated to providing aggressive and knowledgeable legal representation to address and resolve wage and hour disputes effectively.”

Key Issues Addressed by Zatuchni & Associates Include:

• Overtime abuse, where employees are not compensated at the required rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek.

• Misclassification of employees as independent contractors to avoid paying overtime, payroll taxes, and benefits.

• Denial of pay for short breaks, where employees should be compensated if allowed to take breaks of up to 20 minutes.

• Incorrect classification of employees as exempt to avoid paying overtime.

Zatuchni & Associates handles a range of wage and hour disputes, including cases where employees have been wrongly classified to deny them overtime pay or forced to work without proper compensation. The firm is also adept at handling class actions for groups of employees facing similar issues.

Client testimonials highlight the firm's commitment to personalized attention and aggressive legal representation.
