Wage and Compensation Disputes Lawyer in Indianapolis, IN

Many issues spur wage disputes, including minimum wage laws and the absence of employee benefits. To make matters worse, federal and state laws for employee wages can be complicated to navigate.

The Indiana Department of Labor does offer services to make it possible for employees to file claims against an employer. If you believe your employer owes unpaid wages or is under-compensating you or other employees, we can help. Our firm of experienced employment law attorneys can help you solve those legal issues.

Understanding Indiana Laws Relating to Wage Discrepancy

Laws apply to anyone classified as a non-exempt employee under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). If there is any possibility that your employer has misclassified your employee status under federal law, contact an employment law firm to get clarification on those specific laws.

Wage Claims can be submitted through the Indiana Department of Labor, though they cannot guarantee compensation or resolution; that’s where having an employment attorney can help. As an “at-will” state, Indiana state law does allow an employer to terminate an employee’s position for no reason. Thus, the Department of Labor also offers no job protection if you lose your job after filing a wage claim.

To help you protect yourself, your job, and your rights, we would be happy to provide context around FLSA and Indiana Labor Law. Get in touch so our team can provide legal advice based on your situation. We can help you learn more about taking action or getting involved with a class-action lawsuit.
