Tow Truck Driver Files Class Action for Unpaid Overtime, Minimum Wage, and Paid Sick Time Violations

Wage Issues Involving Tipped Employees
More businesses are asking customers to tip their employees than ever before. If you are an employee working in Arizona and receive tips, make sure you know your wage rights so you get paid all you are entitled to under the law.
Layoffs and the 60-day Notice Requirement under the WARN Act
The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (the WARN Act) requires many employers to provide advance notice to employees before they are laid off or they may owe penalties to the employees who were laid off if they fail to provide the required notice.
Salaried Doesn’t Necessarily Mean Exempt from Overtime
Many employees who are salaried may not actually be exempt from overtime, and it is your job duties, not your title, that matters. Speaking with an attorney experienced in wage and hour law about the duties that you actually perform when you complete your job is the most effective way to determine if you have been properly classified as exempt from overtime. If you primarily complete duties typical of the workers who perform routine labor for your organization, you likely are entitled to overtime even if you are paid a salary.
Pursuing a Legal Claim for Unpaid Wages resulting from Off the Clock Work in the Healthcare Industry
Federal and Arizona law requires employers to pay employees for all the time they work, including time worked off the clock. In fact, you don’t even necessarily need documentation to support the hours that you worked. If you complete job duties off the clock, your own memory about the amount of time you are required to work off the clock and the job tasks you performed off the clock should be sufficient evidence to support your claim.
