Your Wage and Hour Rights in Maryland
Maryland's Wage and Hour Law states that you have the right to receive your minimum wage pay. It also requires your employer (with some exceptions) to pay you time-and-a-half for work in excess of 40 hours per week.
Depending on your employment situation, you may have the right to recover:
- Accrued leave, including vacation and compensatory leave
- All pay accrued as of the date you are fired or quit
- Bonuses
- Commissions
- Ownership interests
- Raises
- Severance
- Time-and-a-half for work in excess of 40 hours per week (in most cases)
Basically, you are entitled under the law to recover any form of compensation that you and your employer have agreed to, so long as you have lived up to your part of the bargain.
The Maryland Wage Payment and Collection Law has put teeth into employee rights. In addition to unpaid compensation, if you prevail, you may recover your attorneys' fees plus triple damages.
If you did your work, and your employer hasn't paid you, it's time to let an aggressive attorney come to your aid. We know how to deal with stubborn employers.
