Minimum Wage Lawyers
Minimum Wage Compliance and Business Exposure
Minimum wage compliance is often treated as a straightforward payroll issue, yet it remains one of the most common sources of wage-and-hour disputes. Employers face risk not only from underpayment of hourly wages, but also from how minimum wage interacts with overtime, bonuses, commissions, reimbursements, and timekeeping practices. Even small discrepancies, when repeated over time, can create substantial exposure.
Like other wage-and-hour issues, minimum wage claims are particularly susceptible to aggregation. What appears to be a small underpayment for one employee can multiply rapidly when applied across dozens or hundreds of employees over multiple pay periods. For many businesses, the most significant risk is not the underlying wage differential, but the cumulative effect of penalties, interest, and attorney’s fees once a claim expands beyond an individual dispute.
