The best way a worker can protect his or her rights begins with knowledge. The information in the Your Rights Under Wage And Hour Law pamphlet by the Center for Workers Rights provides a basic understanding of wage and hour law by describing the most common ways these laws are violated. The Center for Workers Rights was founded by Norman Malbin, an attorney with over 20 years experience in representing workers in wage and hour matters. The information in the pamphlet is not intended to provide specific legal advice. It can't. Each case depends on its own facts. The goal here is to provide you with basic concepts that generally apply. The materials in the pamphlet are based on the laws in effect as of May 2008.
