STEVE BENARDO: Wage and hour laws are constantly changing and it's one of the areas of the law that's been changing the most. At our firm we make a major effort to keep up to date on all the changes in the law so that we can give you as the client every advantage when it comes to negotiating a resolution of your case.
It's essential to be a strong negotiator in these cases. At our firm we've handled a number of complex wage and hour cases. Class actions where we've represented hundreds of employees and the resolution of the case has been in the millions or even tens of millions of dollars.
We also have handled a number of cases that involved cutting edge legal issues. Courts have been deciding the issues that we are arguing about during our lawsuit, which makes the case especially complicated.
Employees often don't know that they're not being paid properly. The laws are complicated and as an employee your job is to do the work you're hired to do, not to know employment law, not to know wage and hour law. That's where we come in and that's why you hire us.
In this day and age, people work a lot more hours than they used to work and they're held to higher standards than they used to be held to. And it is more important than ever that people get paid for the time and effort that they actually put in for work.
