Class & Collective Action Litigation
Class & Collective Action Wage Litigation
When an employer shorts one worker, they are almost always shorting dozens or hundreds of others across the company. Systemic wage theft is a business model for bad employers. Class and collective action litigation is the ultimate tool to hold corporations accountable.
By uniting with your co-workers in a single federal lawsuit, you can expose company-wide payroll fraud, protect individual workers from employer intimidation, and maximize total financial recovery.
Why File a Collective Action with Troy Law?
- Strength in Numbers: Joining forces with co-workers creates immense legal leverage against large corporations and corporate veils designed to hide stolen money.
- Protection Against Illegal Retaliation: Federal and state laws strictly prohibit employers from firing, demoting, or reporting workers to immigration for joining a wage lawsuit. Courts issue immediate injunctions against retaliatory employers.
- Worried about your immigration status?
- About not having filed a tax return?
- About not being able to afford to sue?
If you answered yes to any or all of the three questions, you are not alone.
It may surprise you that your answers to these questions DO NOT affect your eligibility to sue and win compensatory and liquidated damages from your current and/or former employer.
You are not alone. Federal labor laws protect all workers regardless of immigration status or tax filing history. Under federal law, when an employer fails to keep accurate time records, the court relies on your credible testimony to calculate what you are owed. We know the tricks employers pull—such as denying you worked there or forging signatures—and we know how to defeat them in court.
