New York Employee Rights Attorneys Seek Just Compensation for Telemarketers Who Fall Victim to Wage Theft by Employers

Recovering unpaid overtime and back wages

Telemarketing is not easy. Between confrontations with rude customers and quotas that must be met, the job can be stressful and thankless. Telemarketers should not have to fight to receive the rightful compensation earned from employers. The New York City employee rights attorneys at Hepworth, Gershbaum & Roth, PLLC litigate tenaciously on behalf of telemarketers that have been victimized by employers. We give you a voice if you have not been fully compensated by your employer.

Employers break the law by not paying employee earned wages

Historically, telemarketers are one of the most abused types of employees in any industry. Our New York City employee rights attorneys have participated in class action lawsuits throughout the country for employees not properly compensated for wages earned. We have seen it all and know what it takes to hold employers accountable for breaking state and federal laws. The most common grounds for unpaid wages for telemarketers our unpaid wage attorneys see include:

• Reducing pay for missing quotas

• Not paying for working during breaks

• Refusing to give employees required breaks

• Unpaid overtime wages

• Being asked to work off the clock

• Docking hours from paychecks

• Unpaid trainings

• Nonpayment for all tasks performed at work

State and federal wage laws impacting telemarketers in New York

There are both state and federal wage laws that impact how employers are required to treat and compensate their employees. When employers fail to comply with the laws, their employees usually have the right to file a lawsuit and recover compensation from them. Although the federal laws and New York laws are generally similar, there are important distinctions between the two. Deciding on whether to file in state or federal court requires an experienced New York employee rights attorney that knows the court system and can assess which course of legal action is best for you. Our attorneys tailor our legal strategies to the individual needs and circumstances of each individual client.
