Analysis & Reporting Services

In a wage and hour lawsuit, a damage model is employed to estimate the amount of damages owed to the plaintiffs who claim they were misclassified or underpaid. The model takes into account unpaid wages, overtime, and other relevant damages to provide a calculation of the total amount owed. This estimate can then be used as a basis for negotiating a settlement or as a starting point for a court award. A well-constructed damage model is crucial because it offers a systematic and credible method for determining damages, which can benefit either the plaintiffs or the defendants in achieving a successful outcome in their lawsuit.

A meal period analysis in a wage and hour lawsuit assesses whether an employer has met its legal obligations for meal breaks. The analysis involves a review of time records, company policies, and other relevant data to identify any instances where meal periods were not provided, were insufficient in length, or were in violation of state or federal labor laws. The objective of the analysis is to quantify the number of violations and their financial impact on employees, which is used to calculate damages in a class action lawsuit. This information helps ensure that employees receive fair compensation for any violations they have suffered.

We also conduct payroll comparisons, which is an analysis of an employer's payroll records, time and attendance records, and other relevant data to determine if employees have been properly paid in accordance with state and federal labor laws. The purpose of the payroll comparison is to identify any instances of underpayment or misclassification of hours worked, such as failure to pay overtime, minimum wage violations, and other types of wage theft. The findings of the payroll comparison are used to calculate the estimated damages owed to the plaintiffs and can be used to support the claims in a wage and hour class action lawsuit.

The regular rate analysis in a wage and hour lawsuit is a method of determining an employee's average hourly rate of pay over a given period. This rate is used to calculate overtime pay, premium pay, and other compensation entitlements under federal and state labor laws. The analysis involves reviewing the employee's time and attendance records, payroll records, and other relevant data to determine the total number of hours worked, including any hours worked beyond the standard workweek. The regular rate calculation is important in wage and hour lawsuits because it helps to establish whether an employee has been paid fairly and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Our offerings extend beyond the above standard reporting methods. We also provide Ad Hoc Analysis. This type of analysis is ideal for legal firms seeking a fast solution to a unique data challenge, without the need for extensive time or resources for structured analysis.
