Wyomissing, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/27/2017 -- The Wage Payment and Collection Law (WPCL) gives employees in Pennsylvania a legal vehicle to recover unpaid wages from their employers if an employer breaches its contractual obligation to pay wages. The underlying function of the WPCL is to eliminate some of the obstacles employees would go up against during litigation by providing employees with a legal remedy. Kozloff Stoudt Attorneys understands the ins and out of this law and are ready to tackle cases involving wage payment and collection for their clients.
The WPCL does not manifest the employee's right to compensation. It grants an employee and their lawyer the ability to enforce payment of these wages and compensation to which they are entitled by the terms of their agreement. There are plenty of cases in which there is an oral employment agreement to perform work for the employer for an agreed upon wage or salary.
This team of attorneys uses the Wage Payment and Collection Law to recover unpaid wages as well as benefits for employees that were let go by their employers and without receiving payment for what they previously earned. This can also include commissions, bonuses, unused vacation or PTO (paid time off) and expense reimbursement. These attorneys serving Reading, PA also handle cases involving truck accidents, sexual harassment, banking law and much more.
