Report Link Treble Damages Under Massachusetts Wage and Hour Laws.
Jackson Lewis LLP - June 18, 2008
A recent “clarification” of the Wage and Hour laws by the Massachusetts legislature, effective July 13, 2008, will significantly impact the handling of wage and hour complaints by employers state-wide. Pursuant to Senate Bill No. 1059, any lawsuit alleging a claim under the Massachusetts Wage and Hour laws will carry with it the potential for an award of treble damages, in addition to litigation costs and attorneys' fees, regardless of the willfulness or inadvertence of the employer's actions that form the basis for the claim.
Report Link Last Employer Left in Massachusetts Turn Out the Lights…
Ford & Harrison LLP - April 21, 2008
Massachusetts employers may soon find themselves facing a significant increase in state wage and hour lawsuits in the wake of legislation that became law earlier this week. The new law makes treble damages (that is, three times the amount of lost wages or other benefits) mandatory if an employer is found to have violated the state’s wage and hour laws, even if the violation was inadvertent. This includes the state’s wage payment and overtime and minimum wage laws.
