Are you being paid less than the minimum wage?

As a worker, you have the right to receive at least the minimum wage established by law.

In NYC, Long Island, and Westchester, the minimum wage is $16.50 per hour in the rest of New York State, it is $15.50.

With over 30 years of experience, we provide a safe legal process to help you receive the compensation you deserve regardless of your immigration status.
