Is your employer failing to pay you the wages, bonuses or other compensation you have earned? At Cross Law Firm, S.C., our attorneys can evaluate your situation and determine whether you would benefit from pursuing a wage and hour claim or becoming part of a class or collective action.
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and various state laws including Wisconsin's Wage Payment Claims and Collections Laws protect employee compensation. Despite these laws, employers regularly engage in the unlawful practice of failing to pay their employees, which amounts to wage theft. Although the FLSA guarantees only minimum and overtime wages, Wisconsin's wage laws protect commissions, vacation pay, bonuses and other promised wages.

Milwaukee, Waukesha and Wausau Employment Attorney
Our firm is focused on representing employees, not employers. We have the legal experience, skills and resources to take on employers throughout Wisconsin and are not intimidated by powerful opponents.
We know that employers want to settle these cases as soon as possible to avoid paying out even more later on; we will negotiate aggressively while also preparing for litigation if it is in your best interest.
To learn more about our wage and hour practice areas, see the following:
- Overtime law
- Minimum wage
- Salaried employees, commission, bonuses, executive compensation and benefits
- Current collective actions
We can work with you to determine if you have a viable case and then get to work on holding your employer accountable for their violations. Whether they are violating wage and hour laws as part of company policy or out of ignorance, there is no excuse for not treating employees according to the law and paying them the wages and benefits they have earned and rightfully deserve. In addition to unpaid wages, the various laws allow an employee to recover civil penalties, attorneys' fees and costs.
