Working for an employer each day requires commitment. Contributing your talents to your employer and promoting your employer’s interests demonstrate your dedication. It is unfair, then, when your employer does not follow the law or the terms of your employment contract and does not pay you for the services you have provided.
Contact The Galo Law Firm P.C. to speak to San Antonio wage and hour dispute attorney Michael Galo. Call our San Antonio law office at 210-361-8043 today.
As an employee, you have rights to overtime pay and a minimum wage. Federal law states that all employees must be paid a minimum wage, which is based on the age of the employee. Unfortunately, wage disputes and disputes about the number of hours worked are very common workplace issues that our lawyers deal with frequently.
If you believe that your workplace is not paying you correctly based on your hours, and have been told you are wrong or that they do not care about you, we can help.
The Galo Law firm boasts three decades of experience when it comes to employment law. We will fight aggressively to make sure you get the compensation you may be entitled to.

In the San Antonio area, both minimum wage and overtime pay are enforceable by federal law. These laws are in place to ensure that all employees are treated fairly and equally and to minimize the abuse of employees.
Under the fair labor standards act, you, the employee, are entitled to 1.5 times an employee’s regular rate of pay for all hours worked extra after 40 hours in any given week. There are no exceptions to this for any business or employee.
Essentially, this means that if you are paid $10.00 an hour and work 50 hours in the current work week, you should be paid $15.00 for the last 10 hours.
Minimum wage laws work a little differently, as they are based on the age of the employee. In San Antonio, the minimum wage age groups are as follows;
As stated, an employee has a fundamental right to both overtime pay and a minimum wage, both of which are enforceable by federal laws. The problem is that many employers are accidentally or purposely neglectful toward these laws. If this is the case, the employer has broken both state and federal laws and our lawyers can take them to court for their neglectful actions.
If you have not been paid a normal hourly rate or your overtime wages, then you may be entitled to overtime compensation. If this is the case, then we would recommend contacting The Galo Law Firm.
Our lawyers will review your case and do a full labor investigation to find out how much you may be owed in back wages. We go the extra mile to ensure that you, the client, are treated fairly and get the compensation you may deserve.
At Galo Law, our experienced attorneys are very used to seeing multiple claims per client when it comes to violations of wage and hour laws. Employers’ pay practices sometimes violate multiple minimum wage and overtime laws weekly, as such, we will aim to ensure you get the maximum compensation possible, whether that’s through a trial or an out-of-court settlement.
The Violations that our lawyers see the most, and have experience dealing with in court are as follows:
If any of the above has happened to you, seek legal representation quickly. The longer employees leave these situations, the worse it gets and the harder it becomes to work out how much could be owed to an employee who has been abused in this manner.

We also aim to take away the stress that these cases can cause the client. We will work tirelessly on your behalf so that you don’t have to.
