Ohio Wage and Hour Law
Ohio laws regarding employment and compensation can be both nuanced and complex. According to Scott & Winters, the right law firm can help those with questions or concerns regarding compensation or unpaid wages, use the law to their benefit.
Unfortunately, unfair treatment or unlawful withholding of wages, underpayment, or failure to recognize overtime are all too often occurrences. While some issues can be quickly resolved, such as with accounting mistakes or computer errors, other situations may call for filing suit in court.
Recovering Employment Status and Wages Owed
Ohio employees enjoy the benefit of being protected by both federal laws, such as the Fair Labor Standards Act, as well as state laws such as Ohio wage and hour laws.
Scott & Winters Law Firm wants Ohio residents to know that they have rights and in some cases, a valid claim to those rights. Those who suspect a violation, or who feel wronged, may be protected under these regulations and entitled to compensation or relief. The right employment lawyer can help them explore options and raise the issue with their employer.
