How To File a Wage & Hour Claim Against An NYC Employer
Many forms of harassment and discrimination can lead to a wage and hour claim. An employee can report any form of discrimination he or she witnesses, including actions against someone for disability, age, race, national origin, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. If you’ve been the victim of workplace harassment, common advice is to issue a formal complaint internally with the department at your company responsible for these issues. However, if this results in retaliation, you have another problem on your hands.
As an employee in New York City, you don’t have to suffer from wage or hour reductions because you reported illegal activity. Wrongful termination can ruin your career and place you and your family in financial hardship. A shift change may not matter to some employees, but it can be devastating for a single mother or father with children at home. No matter what your wage or hour reduction looks like, if you believe it was the result of a sexual harassment complaint, contact a New York City labor lawyer to file a claim.
