Wage and Hour Law

Washington, DC, Wage and Hour Claims Lawyer

If you are an hourly or salaried employee in the metro DC area and have been denied a rightful claim to overtime, or you have otherwise not been properly compensated for work you have done, you have rights. Regardless of whether you have been wrongfully labeled exempt from coverage under the Fair Labor Standards Act (the FLSA) or you have been misclassified as an independent contractor and not eligible for overtime or retirement benefits, an experienced employee rights and benefits attorney like Denise M. Clark can help you get full and fair compensation for your lost wages and overtime.

The Washington, DC, Law Office of Denise M. Clark represents government employees, mid-level professionals, executives and hourly workers, including prospective, current and former employees, in matters involving wage and hour claims and unfair treatment under the Fair Labor Standards Act (the FLSA). Contact the firm to arrange your confidential consultation.

Wages and overtime earned by most employees are protected by the provisions of the FLSA. With some exceptions, federal law requires that employees who work in excess of 40 hours per week be paid overtime. Washington and Maryland also have state wage payment statutes, governing issues like frequency of pay, deductions and changes in an employee's rate of pay.

Generally speaking, nearly all hourly-paid workers are entitled to overtime. Contrary to popular belief, even some salaried employees can claim overtime. Attorney Clark understands the provisions of the federal and state wage payment statutes and works with individuals to get full and fair compensation for wage and hour violations they have suffered.

Attorney Denise M. Clark brings over 17 years of experience to clients who have been wrongfully denied wages or overtime by an employer. She works with clients individually, providing them with a full understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of their case. Her clients value and respect her honest, straightforward, and practical style.

You DO have rights, whether you quit or you were wrongfully terminated - you just need to make a decision on whether or not to enforce those rights. Contact the Law Office of Denise M. Clark, in Washington, DC, for a confidential consultation.
