Is The Violation Willful?

In business and in life, mistakes happen. Many employers who violate wage and hour laws do so because they misunderstand the regulations or otherwise make an honest mistake. If a violation is willful, the “look back” period is three years rather than two.  If an employee is successful in establishing a violation of the wage and hour laws, they may recover double compensation for lost wages as well as attorneys’ fees.  During a Department of Labor investigation they may discover more violations than originally reported, and they may find violations involving additional employees.  The Department of Labor may also impose fines in addition to compensating employees.
