Know Your Rights in St. Louis
If your employer is dodging you or stonewalling, they're likely violating Missouri law. Here's what the law actually says.
Federal Floor: The Fair Labor Standards Act
Whether you work in St. Louis or elsewhere in Missouri, the FLSA guarantees minimum wage and 1.5× overtime for hours over 40 per week. Misclassification as "exempt" or "independent contractor" does not defeat your right to be paid.
Missouri State Wage Law
Missouri wage and hour law typically adds penalties on top of federal floors — late-payment penalties, waiting-time penalties at termination, and treble damages in some jurisdictions. State remedies are often stronger than federal.
Retaliation Is Illegal
Firing, demoting, or otherwise punishing a worker for asserting wage rights is independently actionable. A formal written demand creates the legal record needed to prove retaliation if it follows.
Why a Pre-Litigation Demand Works
Most St. Louis employers settle wage-theft demands once they realize the math: unpaid wages + double or treble damages + your attorney's fees + state agency investigation. A demand letter quotes that math back to them in writing.
