Florida Overtime, Meal and Rest Laws
You deserve to be compensated properly, and have appropriate breaks for meals and rest. There are many state and federal laws in place governing these issues, and employers are expected to follow these laws with all employees. Unfortunately, this does not always happen, and those who are negatively impacted by illegal employer actions deserve to have their rights protected.

Our firm has regularly handled minimum wage violations, overtime violations, and other unlawful wage and hour practices. If you believe that your rights have been violated, it is important to discuss your case with an attorney who can protect you.
Minimum Wage Lawyer Boca Raton
Our firm has routinely handled employment law claims and litigation stemming from issues that include:
- Violation of overtime laws
- Misclassification of employees, including IT employees
- Improper deductions
- Tip splitting
- Commission and piece-rate issues
- Violation of minimum wage laws
- Meal and rest breaks
Wages lost over time to these issues can be quite substantial. An employer who fails to provide a meal period, for example, is required to pay the employee a wage of one hour for each missed period. If an employer routinely deprives employees of meal periods, it can result in thousands of dollars of lost wages.
