Employment Law
When Many Workers Stand Together
When an employer shortchanges one worker, it often shortchanges many. Class and collective actions let employees who suffered the same harm join forces, pool evidence, and pursue compensation together. By standing as a group, workers build a far stronger case than any one person could alone.
Employment Law
One worker is easy to ignore.
A group is impossible to dismiss.
A class action is filed by a representative who was harmed and believes others suffered similar injuries from the same conduct. A collective action, common in wage and hour cases, works differently: members are not automatically included and must opt in by submitting a consent form. We handle both, covering unpaid wages and overtime, illegal tip credits, off-the-clock work, unlawful meal deductions, uniform costs, biometric privacy, contractor misclassification, and COBRA notice violations.
How group cases work.
Class Representative
One harmed employee stands in for a group that suffered the same injury from the same employer action.
Opt-In Collective
In a collective action, workers are not automatically included and must file a form to join.
Strength In Numbers
Joining together lets workers pool resources, evidence, and legal effort against the employer.
No Upfront Cost
Cases proceed on contingency, so class members owe no fees unless the case is successfully resolved.
How a class or collective action works
We Investigate
We gather pay records and worker statements to uncover systemic wage violations.
A Case Is Filed
A class action is filed by a representative; a collective action is one you opt into.
Workers Join
Eligible employees are notified and can join to share in any recovery.
We Recover
We pursue back pay, damages, and fees, at no cost to you unless we win.
Estimate what you could recover
Enter a few numbers for a rough idea of what unpaid overtime could be worth. Every situation is different — talk to us for a real evaluation at no cost.
Nothing upfront. These cases run on a contingency fee basis, so there are no fees to class members until the case is resolved successfully.
They can take anywhere from several months to multiple years to resolve, depending on the court and the issues involved.
Class members are automatically included, while collective action members must affirmatively opt in by submitting a consent form.
