Lawyers Dedicated to Employee Rights
Experienced Employment Law Attorneys in South Florida
At Sugarman & Susskind, P.A., in Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, we are committed to protecting the rights of workers from all walks of life. Employees and employers are subject to laws and regulations from all levels of government. Just because laws exist, however, doesn't mean that they are followed. Employees often need experienced employment attorneys to help them understand their legal rights, particularly when they have not received wages or benefits that they have earned, when they are involved in overtime disputes, or when they are negotiating agreements at the beginning or the end of a job.
Our experienced lawyers can help you. Contact us to discuss your needs if you think you have not been properly paid for your work, if you are concerned about the security of your pension fund, or if you need assistance with employment agreements.
Representing Workers in Wage and Hour Litigation
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), most workers are entitled to overtime wages when they work more than 40 hours in a work week. The FLSA, as well as Florida law, also provides for a minimum wage. While these principles are simple in theory, in practice the law is a lot more complex. Many employees are misclassified or are incorrectly led to believe that they are not entitled to overtime. Also, when employees leave their employment they may be entitled to unpaid wages, vacation, or to earned commissions. At Sugarman & Susskind, we represent individual employees who have questions about their wages and their entitlement to overtime. We can review the facts of your case, advise you of your rights under law, and if necessary represent you in a legal action. For more information about this practice area, please contact attorney Noah Scott Warman.
Representing Individuals in Employee Pension Benefits Litigation
Your pension benefits are the foundation to a secure and peaceful retirement. As events over the past few years have demonstrated, however, in the wrong hands that foundation may prove to be built on false promises and shifting sands. Employees often need advice on whether their plans have operated fairly and in compliance with federal laws, including ERISA. Employees whose pension benefits have been improperly calculated or denied need effective legal representation. At Sugarman & Susskind, we can counsel you on your pension rights and take the necessary steps to secure your pension benefits. For more information about this practice area, please contact attorney Ivelisse Berio LeBeau.
Assisting Employees with Employment and Severance Agreements
Employees who work under an employment agreement or who are asked to sign a termination agreement often need professional assistance. We advise individual employees concerning their legal rights and represent employees whose employers have failed to follow the law. We have assisted employees in negotiating employment agreements when taking or leaving a job, including reviewing severance packages and agreements with confidentiality and non-compete provisions. For more information about this practice area, please contact attorney Noah Scott Warman.
