The Law Office of Leon Greenberg provides representation, either directly or through association with co-counsel, in Nevada, New York City, California, New Jersey, and elsewhere to employees seeking the payment of overtime wages, minimum wages, severance pay and other unpaid wages or commissions. Representation is provided on both a group and individual basis. The Law Office of Leon Greenberg does NOT provide representation in other employment related maters (it does NOT represent employees in wrongful discharge, discrimination, slander or other sorts of claims, if you are seeking assistance with one of these sort of matters, and not a wage collection claim, you may want to contact the National Employment Lawyers Association for a list of employment attorneys in your area).

Legal representation is provided without any out of pocket fee payment by the client, for details please see the "How Cases Are Handled" page. Most employees are entitled to time and one-half pay (overtime pay) for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours per week even if they are paid on a salary or commission or piecework basis. Many workers, and some employers, do not know that when a worker is paid "by the week" or "by the day" (on a salary basis without any "hourly rate") the worker is usually STILL entitled to overtime pay. Leon Greenberg has successfully recovered many thousands of dollars of unpaid overtime wages owed to hundreds of employees with individual employees collecting from a few hundred dollars to over fifty thousand dollars.

Many employees (for example, many office workers such as secretaries) are paid on a weekly "salary" basis and do not receive any additional hourly pay or overtime pay for working in excess of 40 hours per week. Such arrangements, although quite common, typically violate State and Federal Law. Salaried employees paid on a weekly basis are frequently entitled to overtime pay.

Many employers will improperly classify workers as "managers" or "assistant managers" or "supervisors" in an attempt to evade their legal obligation to pay overtime wages. Many employees who are classified as "managers" or "supervisors" by their employer are NOT exempt from the overtime law (please see the Managers and Overtime Pay page).

Under Federal Law, which covers most employers in Nevada and throughout the country, the statute of limitations to collect unpaid overtime or minimum wages is two or three years. Wages owed pursuant to contract in Nevada have a four or six year statute of limitations. The statute of limitations to bring a claim in New York State for unpaid wages, minimum wages, or overtime wages is six years. In California the statute of limitations is four years. The statute of limitations is usually calculated from when the employee worked but was not paid the wages he should have received for the week's work (the statute of limitations is typically NOT calculated from when the employee left his job).

Please telephone for a free no obligation telephone consultation.

Please note that the following cases are typically not handled by this office:

1. Claims valued at $3,000 or less for a single individual. The employee in this situation may want to bring a lawsuit in the Small Claims Court. If there is a large group of employees (50 or more) who are owed less than $3,000 each please call as it may be possible to provide assistance to a group of workers in this situation.

2. Overtime claims for teachers or agricultural workers who are generally exempt from the Federal overtime law.

3. Overtime claims for employees of railroads and airlines who are exempt from the Federal overtime law if their work involves the movement of passengers or freight by trains or airplanes (State Laws for these workers may vary).

4. Overtime claims for livery or taxi drivers (under Federal Law these workers are entitled to a minimum wage but not overtime, State Laws for these workers may vary).

5. Overtime claims for law enforcement and fire department personnel (special rules apply to these workers).

6. Overtime claims for drivers who regularly cross State lines (these workers are exempt from the Federal overtime law but may be covered by the overtime laws of some States). Drivers who only make intrastate deliveries (deliveries within one State) are frequently covered by the Federal overtime law and should contact this office.
