Since 1995, Rapaport Law Firm has collected millions of dollars for NY employees whose employers did not pay them
unpaid overtime compensation and other wages that they were owed. You deserve a NY Overtime-Wage Lawyer who will fight hard to get you:
- Overtime wages owed to you
- Twice the amount owed, if your employer willfully underpaid you
- Your attorney's fees (if you don't receive a recovery through a successful settlement or litigation we don't get paid)
Under New York State law, claims for unpaid overtime wages can also be filed within 6 years of when they were earned by you.
RECENT VICTORIES:
2011: CAR WASHES IN THE BRONX FORCED TO PAY OVERTIME AND MINIMUM WAGE OWED TO WORKERS
In 2011, we successfully represented car wash employees in the Bronx in wage and hour claims for unpaid overtime and "spread of hours" compensation. After filing our case in Federal Court, we successfully negotiated a settlement that fully compensated all of our clients.
2011-2012: BROOKLYN HOME HEALTH CARE ASSISTANTS
In 2011, and continuing in 2012, the NY wage attorneys at Rapaport Law Firm have been aggressively advocating for overtime and minimum wage rights of home health care assistants. We are currently pursuing claims against home health care companies in Brooklyn. Home health care attendants in New York have long been neglected, and have been relegated to abusive and utterly unfair conditions. In many instances, employers wrongfully deprive home health care assistants of overtime. We fight hard to recover unpaid wages and overtime for home health care attendants in Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Bronx, and all other areas of New York State.
| DID YOU KNOW? |  |
- Under Federal and NY Law, an employer bears the burden of proving that its employees fall within an exemption to overtime requirements;
- A home health care assistant is entitled to overtime if she does not live in the home of the person for whom she is caring, or if her duties include housekeeping;
- The NY Wage Lawyers at Rapaport Law represent New York employees in every industry and occupation, and you incur no legal fees unless we win your wage case.
