What Types of Lawsuits Can Employees File Against Employers in New York, New York?

At Rosenbaum & Rosenbaum, P.C., we’re a full-service law firm that can help with any type of employment-related dispute. Some of our primary practice areas include:

Wage and Hour Disputes

New York City employers are required to compensate their employees in accordance with state and federal laws. The employer is obligated to pay a minimum wage and, in some cases, pay overtime if the employee works more than 40 hours per week.

  • Failed to pay the required minimum wage
  • Withheld bonuses without justification
  • Improperly deducted money from an employee’s paycheck

If an employer violates wage and hour laws, they may be required to reimburse the employee for any amounts owed, plus interest.

Employment Contract Violation Claims

Employment contracts can be beneficial for everyone. They lay out each party’s workplace rights and responsibilities. When an employer violates the contract, an employee might have a breach of contract claim.

  • Scheduling
