Are You Getting Paid What You Are Worth?
Enforce Your Rights!
New Jersey's Wage and Hour law is very basic: it says that every worker is entitled to be paid at least the minimum wage. For every hour of overtime you work, you are entitled to time and a half.
If you are being paid less than this, you are being taken advantage of.

Overtime pay adds up quickly
If you have not been paid time and a half for working overtime, do you know how much you are owed? Here's how to find out:
- Take the number of hours you work each week, and subtract 40.
- Multiply that number by half of your hourly wage - that's how much you lose every week!
- Multiply that by the number of weeks you've worked unpaid overtime
One client came to the Law Offices of Jamison M. Mark with a pay dispute: he had been working 70 hour weeks for months - without getting time and a half. Making $10 an hour, he was losing $150 a week in unpaid wages.
What is the "prevailing wage?"
If you work on a public project, you are entitled to make the "prevailing wage." The prevailing wage is set by the state. Any contractor who takes on a public project is required by law to pay his or her employees the prevailing wage.
