Most employees assume that your paycheck is right, but many companies simply do not follow the law – whether that failure is intentional or negligent. Many employers of D.C. delivery drivers are unfamiliar with their obligation to pay their drivers and other employees 1.5x their regular pay rate for any hours worked over 40, others outright choose not to follow the law. Either way, the failure to pay employees as required by D.C. law makes an employer liable for damages.
As with most laws, there are always exceptions. If you’re a delivery driver, loader, or mechanic – whether your fleet consists of cargo vans, box truck, sprinter vans, or tractor-trailers, please contact us at (443-921-1100) to speak with someone who can help determine if you are potentially owed compensation.
