After you receive your back compensation, the employer pays our fees.

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) establishes the federal minimum wage at $5.15 per hour for most workers. In Illinois, the state minimum wage is set at $6.50 per hour for a forty hour week, and each state may have its own established minimum rate not lower than the federal rate. Some fields of employment have exemptions to minimum wage requirement, but the law is very clear about the type of work that may be exempt. If your employer is paying you less than the federal minimum wage, or your current state's minimum wage, you may be entitled to back pay. Even if you are, or were, an undocumented worker, your employer is required to obey the FLSA requirements.

At the labor and wage law office of the Billhorn Law Firm, we help workers recover back pay when they have been paid less than the minimum wage. Attorney John Billhorn provides 20 years of experience working aggressively to protect worker's rights to fair compensation on the job.

If you have not been receiving the federal minimum wage of $5.15 per hour, or your current state's minimum wage, contact the Chicago minimum wage laws attorney's office of the Billhorn Law Firm for a free consultation about how to recover your back pay. We understand the tactics many employers use to avoid paying minimum wage, and we know how to build a strong case to help you get the back pay you have earned. After you receive your back pay, your employer pays our fees.
