Every employee in Woodbridge Township is entitled to fair treatment and legal protections under state and federal labor laws. Unfortunately, many workers experience unlawful practices such as wage theft, unpaid overtime, lack of breaks, or being misclassified as independent contractors. These violations can have a serious impact on your livelihood—but you don’t have to face them alone.
What Are Common Labor Law Violations?
Labor law violations cover a wide range of employer misconduct that infringes on workers’ rights. Some of the most common issues include:
- Failure to pay minimum wage or overtime
- Requiring off-the-clock work
- Denying rest or meal breaks
- Misclassifying employees to avoid benefits
- Withholding earned tips or commissions
- Failing to provide safe working conditions
These actions violate both New Jersey labor laws and federal regulations like the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
Your Rights as a Worker in New Jersey
