Your employer can’t prevent you from making a complaint for violations of the above rules. Understandably, you may fear retaliation or termination of your employment if you complain. However, if you experience issues that are enforced and regulated by the Wage and Hour Division, others may as well.
Fortunately, you don’t have to go through the process alone. If you need help understanding your legal rights and options, contacting an attorney who regularly deals with wage and hour and other employment law issues could prove invaluable.
