New Mexico Wage and Hour Law Compliance and Claims
Protecting New Mexico Workers' Rights to Fair Pay
Our employment law attorney can assist with a comprehensive range of New Mexico wage violations, including:
- Unpaid overtime
- Regular rate / “straight time” for overtime
- Day-rate pay with no overtime
- Unpaid / “off-the-clock” time
- Time “shaving” and rounding down
- Unpaid travel time
- Public works minimum wage / prevailing wage violations
- Independent contractor misclassification
- Exempt employee misclassification
- Tip violations
- Meal period and rest break disputes
- Failure to include bonuses or incentives in overtime rate
- Per diem disputes
- Illegal deductions
- Failure to reimburse travel and out-of-pocket expenses
Overtime laws in New Mexico dictate that most employees must receive 1.5 times their regular rate of pay for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek. However, some employers may attempt to sidestep this law by misclassifying employees as exempt from overtime or by “shaving” or rounding down hours worked. In addition, employees may be improperly classified as independent contractors, which deprives them of the protections and benefits that come with employee status.
Another serious violation is the failure to pay for all hours worked, which can include off-the-clock work, meal breaks that were not provided, or uncounted hours spent on preparatory or concluding work like loading and unloading vehicles and driving to a worksite.
It is important for workers to know their rights, as these wage and hour violations not only affect their income but steal their time personal and family time. As an employment law firm, we are committed to holding employers accountable for these exploitative practices and ensuring workers receive the compensation they are legally entitled to.
