Tipped Employees and Tip Skimming
Tipped employees in Middlesex County are entitled to fair wages under both state and federal law. Employers must pay at least the minimum cash wage in addition to tips and cannot engage in unlawful practices, such as tip skimming. Our attorneys represent workers in recovering stolen wages and holding employers accountable for these practices.
Employee Misclassification in Middlesex County, NJ
Employee misclassification occurs when an employer improperly labels a worker as an independent contractor instead of an employee. This is often done to avoid paying overtime, benefits, and payroll taxes. Our firm works to identify misclassification, recover unpaid wages, and secure the benefits you are entitled to under the law.
New Jersey Paid Sick Leave
Under New Jersey’s Paid Sick Leave law, most employees are entitled to earn up to 40 hours of paid sick time per year. Employers must allow employees to use this time for their own health needs, to care for a family member, or for certain public health and safety reasons.
Covered reasons for taking paid sick leave include:
- Personal illness, injury, or preventive medical care
- Caring for a sick or injured family member
- Time off due to a public health emergency or closure
- Time related to domestic or sexual violence recovery or services
If your employer has denied you sick leave, retaliated against you for taking it, or failed to provide proper accrual and notice, our attorneys can help you enforce your rights.
Equal Pay Act Violations
New Jersey’s Diane B. Allen Equal Pay Act prohibits wage discrimination based on gender and other protected characteristics. Employers must pay employees equally for substantially similar work, regardless of job title, unless pay differences are based on legitimate business factors. Violations can include:
- Paying employees differently for the same or similar work based on gender
- Offering fewer benefits or advancement opportunities to certain groups
- Retaliating against employees who discuss or challenge pay disparities
If you believe you are being paid less than colleagues for comparable work because of your gender or another protected trait, our firm can help you pursue the compensation you deserve.
