New York Comp Time Violation Claims

Comp Time

Wage and hour laws are designed to protect workers from employers. Whether you are protected by the wage and hour laws depends on several factors, including whether you are an exempt or nonexempt employee, what your job duties are, and your salary.

Comp time is a term used to describe allowing an employee take time off at a later date in exchange for overtime work performed, rather than paying that employee the proper compensation (typically time and a half). In most instances, it is illegal for your employer to force you to take comp time rather than pay you overtime wages.

Leeds Morelli & Brown, P.C. has represented thousands of employees in mediation and litigation on a number of employment law issues, including comp-time violations of the wage and hour laws. Our efforts have resulted in millions of dollars in monetary and nonmonetary compensation for these employees.

Leeds Morelli & Brown Obtains Record Verdict in Sexual Harassment Case

Employers that don't try to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace take heed. A jury in Queens, N.Y., this week awarded $15 million to a nurse who endured several years of unwanted sex talk, propositions and groping by a doctor that escalated to two sexual assaults against her in 2001. The verdict represents the largest sexual harassment judgment ever awarded to an individual in a New York state court.
