Representing workers in wage and hour litigation is one of the hallmarks of our New York employment law practice. We have represented New York employees in collective and class actions, raising claims for unpaid overtime and minimum wages, untimely pay, unlawful deductions from wages, and virtually every conceivable type of federal and New York state law wage, hour, and pay claim. Many of our clients are workers in New York City who were deprived of tens of thousands of dollars of overtime pay because their employers misclassified them as “exempt.” Similarly, we have represented clients who were improperly led to believe that they were not entitled to overtime pay because they were paid flat weekly salaries. We have wide ranging experience representing New York City superintendents and porters, retail employees, restaurant workers, construction workers, and office workers. The vast majority of Rapaport Law Firm’s wage and hour cases are filed in federal courts in New York City. New York Employment Lawyers Marc Rapaport and Meredith Miller have a nuanced understanding of federal and New York state wage and hour laws stemming from their decades of experience. As a boutique New York employment law firm for employees, we provide each of our wage and hour clients with personal attention.
