Wage and Hour Law

Wage and Hour Law is a part of labor law that sets regulations concerning pay and working hours for employees. It ensures that workers receive minimum wage, receive overtime pay for hours worked beyond the standard 40-hour workweek, and have protections against unfair pay practices. These laws aim to promote fair compensation and work conditions, reducing exploitation and ensuring that employees are compensated appropriately for their labor. Compliance is vital for employers, and violations can lead to legal consequences.
