Employee Rights Consultations

Denied minimum wage or overtime? Hourly employees in Texas are covered by federal laws, most notably the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which mandates a federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour and overtime pay at 1.5 times the regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. We help workers understand and assert their employee rights.

Misclassified workers are entitled to the benefits and wages of an employee, including overtime pay and other benefits like sick leave or health insurance contributions. Texas uses tests to evaluate the employer's control over the work and determine correct classification.

LALF advocates for workers facing unsafe working conditions by holding employers accountable for violations of OSHA regulations. We provide legal guidance, help file complaints, and pursue claims to ensure workers' rights to a safe workplace are protected.

Our firm supports workers facing discrimination or harassment by investigating claims, filing grievances, and pursuing legal action when necessary. We work to ensure employers are held accountable and that workers are protected under anti-discrimination laws.

LALF challenges wrongful termination by reviewing the circumstances of the dismissal and ensuring contractual and legal protections were upheld. We can represent workers in grievance procedures, arbitration, or court to seek reinstatement, back pay, or other remedies.
