Are You Owed Overtime Pay or Unpaid Wages?

You Can Prove Your Overtime Claim Based on Your Recollection of the Amount of Hours that You Worked:
In wage lawsuits, when an employer has not complied with the legal requirement of maintaining accurate records of the amount of hours their employees worked, the burden of proof shifts in favor of the employees. Under these circumstances, an employee’s recollections of their off-the-clock hours of work are presumed to be correct. Employees can establish the amount of overtime hours that they worked through their own testimony.
Rapaport Law Firm is located in Manhattan at 80 Eighth Avenue, at the crossroads of Chelsea and Greenwich Village. Founded in 1995 by Marc Rapaport, we have handled cases involving unpaid wage claims in state and federal courts throughout New York and New Jersey.
