If you believe your employer is not paying you what you are owed, you have power and you have options.
- Keep a Record: This is very important. Write down the days and hours you work. Keep track of your pay. If you can, save your pay stubs or take pictures of them. Write down any conversations you have with your boss about your pay. This information is evidence.
- Know Your Rights: Your employer is required by law to give you a pay notice when you are hired that shows your rate of pay. They must also give you a detailed pay stub with every payment.
You can also speak with a lawyer who specializes in wage and hour law. A good lawyer will help you understand your options and fight for the money you earned. Most injury and wage lawyers in New York work on a contingency basis, which means **you only pay if they win your case**. You do not need money upfront to get legal help.
You deserve to be paid for every single minute of your hard work.
