Florida Wage and Hour Dispute Attorney
Every successful business is based on a positive relationship between its employers and employees. Employees have the right to expect fair and timely compensation for their work. Likewise, employers have the right to expect that their guidelines are followed and work is completed. If this relationship falters and leads to a wage and hour dispute, we can help.

At the law office of Paul F. Penichet, P.A. we have more than 15 years of experience helping employers and employees resolve wage and hour disputes. Whether you are a construction worker who has not been paid overtime, a real estate agent who has not been paid commissions, a waiter who has not been provided an appropriate wage, or a business owner who has had wage and hour claims made against you, we can help.
We are here to stand up for your rights. At our law firm, we will take the time to learn about your situation. We will learn about your needs and fight to see that they are met.
We can handle all wage and hour disputes, as well as other violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act, including those related to:
- Overtime Claims: failing to pay overtime, paying overtime at regular wage rates, forcing employees to work extra hours off the clock
- Wait Staff Wage Claims: Florida law allows restaurants and bars a tip credit, which allows them to offer wages lower than minimum wage to the wait staff only if the employees are made aware that such will be the case
- Non-Payment of Commissions: failure of an employer to provide commission to salespersons, such as realtors, car sales agents, retail sales staff, and other commissioned employees
- Non-Payment of Last Check: employer's failure or delay in paying an employee's final check
- Failure to Pay Minimum Wage: failure of an employer to pay their employees the current Florida minimum wage of $6.67 per hour
- Equal Pay Act Violations: an employer allowing another gender to receive higher pay for the same work performed
- Wage and Hour Claims for Illegal Aliens and Immigrant Workers: undocumented workers are entitled to many of the same employment rights as resident workers, regardless of immigration status
