Wage and Hour Disputes

Lubin, Enoch & Bustamante PC represents clients (plaintiffs and defendants) in class actions and individual lawsuits against employers for violations of employee rights under the minimum wage, overtime, and child labor provisions of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA), 29 U.S.C. §201, et seq., state and local wage and hour laws, and other employee protections. We successfully litigate matters pertaining to the misclassification  of employees as “independent contractors,” the failure to pay bonuses and commissions, whistleblower suits, discrimination claims, and many other abuses.
Our lawyers assist clients in worker classification, overtime, meal and rest periods, “docking” and other payroll and compensation matters, and assist in the event of a Department of Labor or Division of Labor Standards Enforcement audit.

In conjunction with our representation of labor organizations, Lubin, Enoch & Bustamante PC has also assisted with matters and litigated claims arising out of the prevailing wage requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act of 1931, 40 U.S.C. §3142. These cases have, occasionally, taken the form of a qui tam action against defendant contractors alleging violations of the False Claims Act of 1986, 31 U.S.C. §3729, et seq.
