Unpaid Wage Litigation

Your voice to recover

Unpaid Wages

At Frankel Syverson PLLC, we understand the significant impact that unpaid wages can have on employees and their families. Our experienced team of employment lawyers is dedicated to fighting for the rights of workers, ensuring they receive the compensation they rightfully deserve.

If you have not been paid correctly for your work, we are here to help. We have extensive experience handling cases involving unpaid overtime, minimum wage violations, failure to timely pay wages, Paid Sick Time violations, and improper handling of tips.

Our experience includes litigation representing:

  • Workers in numerous industries required to perform work duties off the clock, including loading computer programs/systems, gathering equipment, conducting reports, or working through an unpaid lunch.

  • Call center employees who spend greater than ten minutes per day loading their computer/telephone systems before they are clocked in.

  • Employees required to put on and take off personal protective equipment necessary to perform their job without compensation for that time.

  • Workers misclassified as independent contractors, independent operators, or independent franchisees who should be receiving benefits as employees, plus minimum wage and overtime, because their work is dependent on and controlled by the company they work for.

  • Workers misclassified as salaried exempt when they should be entitled to overtime because the duties they perform are routine as opposed to managerial or professional in nature.

  • Sales employees whose bonuses and incentive pay should be calculated into their overtime rate.

  • Healthcare workers whose hazard pay was not factored into their overtime rate.

  • Workers required to remain on-call and engaged to wait during unpaid time.

  • Laborers not paid for drive time after picking up equipment at headquarters and then driving to job sites throughout the day. 

  • Workers who have training costs deducted from their paychecks causing their wages to fall below the minimum wage.

What our clients are saying

“Because of Ty, I was able to speak up.

When we first spoke about my situation, I could tell he was going to work hard. He saw right away that what I had been dealing with wasn't right. The violation [of my rights] was there, and he decided to take my case on.

Ty was great. He treated me like a friend but always acted as a concerned attorney. He kept me involved through the whole process so I would know everything that was going on.”
