All private employees receive employment protection under state law and the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Mismanagement of state law or FLSA standards can result in expensive damages for the employer and extensive litigation time for the employee. The best way to avoid such expenses on either side of the equation is for both employees and employers to work closely with an experienced wage and hour law lawyer who is deeply familiar with both state and federal employment laws. You will find such an attorney at Bell Law Group, PLLC.
