“How Much Am I Owed?” | Ep. 3: The D.C. Cook Who Doesn’t Know He’s Not Getting the Minimum Wage
At DCWageLaw, clients who walk in the door often want to know: “How much money am I owed?!” So we decided to write a series of articles with examples of how we might answer this question.
In this edition, we look at the hypothetical example of a D.C. kitchen hand who doesn’t realize that he’s not receiving the minimum wage. This is one of the most common types of cases that we see.
