Union Benefits Lawyers in New York and New Jersey

We handle all types of employment and wage cases, including those involving:

Employee Classification and Wages

When it comes to your status as an employee, courts and the Department of Labor have strict guidelines for employers when classifying hourly and salaried staff. Employers often misclassify employees as managerial, professional or as an independent contractor, simply to avoid paying overtime compensation, workers' compensation, Social Security withholdings and other customary taxes.

Employers also illegally classify workers as independent contractors simply to avoid paying medical and pension benefits. We also can make sure that a benefit plan is in compliance or help you take action when there have been withdrawals, or collections are needed because there have been delinquent contributions. We are known for our litigation experience in this area and protecting your retirement income.
