Labor laws exist to protect workers’ rights—from fair wages and working hours to safe environments and union participation. But when employers violate those rights, it’s critical to take action. If you live or work in Berkeley Heights and believe your labor rights have been violated, Castronovo & McKinney can help with Protecting Your Rights and ensuring your voice is heard.

What Are Labor Law Violations?

Labor law violations can occur in many forms, including failure to pay overtime, denying breaks, unsafe working conditions, and retaliating against employees who raise concerns. Whether you’re a blue-collar worker, service industry employee, or corporate staff member, you are entitled to workplace protections under state and federal law.

Common Labor Violations Include:

  • Unpaid wages or overtime
  • Being forced to work off-the-clock
  • Misclassification as an independent contractor
  • Retaliation for reporting illegal activities or labor complaints
  • Interference with union organizing or collective bargaining efforts

Key Labor Laws That Protect You

  • Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA): Federal law that governs minimum wage, overtime, and child labor standards.
  • National Labor Relations Act (NLRA): Protects the rights of employees to unionize and engage in collective bargaining.
  • New Jersey Wage and Hour Law: Provides strong protections for wage theft and overtime issues in the state.

Your Right to Speak Up

It’s illegal for an employer to retaliate against you for reporting labor violations, filing a complaint, or participating in a labor investigation. If you’ve been disciplined, demoted, or fired after speaking out, you may have a valid legal claim.

What to Do If Your Rights Have Been Violated

  • Keep detailed records of hours worked and wages received
  • Document any communications with your employer about the issue
  • Save pay stubs, schedules, and timesheets
  • Contact an experienced labor lawyer to assess your case
