What Can I Do in the Meantime?
If you believe you’ve been underpaid or that your paycheck was delayed, it’s crucial to start gathering records right away to ensure you have all the necessary evidence. Begin by keeping a meticulous log of all the hours you worked during the disputed period, as well as any out-of-pocket expenses you’ve incurred as a direct result of the delay. For instance, if a late paycheck caused you to miss a credit card payment and subsequently incur fees or penalties, be sure to document those charges thoroughly. Any additional evidence, such as communications with your employer regarding the paycheck or pay rate, can also be invaluable in supporting your claim.
With this comprehensive information at hand, the experienced attorneys at Roberts, Basnuevo & Macias, P.A. can build a robust case on your behalf. We’ll take the time to evaluate your unique situation carefully, ensuring we understand all facets of your case, and pursue the appropriate legal channels to recover not only the pay you’re owed but also related expenses and any compensation for the stress and inconvenience caused by the delay.
What if My Employer Refuses to Pay the Minimum Wage?
Under federal law, employers are required to pay at least the minimum wage—and if Florida’s minimum wage is higher, that’s the rate they must follow. Unfortunately, some employers attempt to take advantage of lower-wage workers, including recent immigrants or those who may not be fully aware of their rights.
At Roberts, Basnuevo & Macias, P.A., we’re here to remind you: you do have rights, regardless of your background or immigration status. If your employer is underpaying you, don’t let fear of retaliation stop you from seeking justice. We can help you hold them accountable.
If we uncover that the wage violations were intentional, we’ll take the appropriate steps to involve the proper authorities and pursue the full penalties allowed by law. Contact our Coral Gables office today to find out how we can help.
