A Reliable Attorney Protecting Pay Rights In Wage And Hour Disputes
Wage and hour disputes for executives, managers and high-earning professionals may involve bonuses, commissions, deferred compensation, stock options, severance terms or whether a salary classification was legally correct. For employers, one complaint can trigger broader exposure under federal and Florida employment laws.
I am attorney Diane Perez with almost 20 years of experience handling workplace disputes. At Diane Perez, P.A., I represent professionals and mid-size employers in Coral Gables, Miami-Dade and the surrounding area. I am a Florida Bar Board-Certified Specialist in Labor and Employment and a noted “Rising Star” among Florida Super Lawyers.
Wage And Hour Guidance For Coral Gables Professionals And Employers
Wage and hour matters require a careful review of job duties, compensation records, written agreements and workplace policies.
I help employees evaluate whether they are owed compensation, and I help employers identify and correct compliance problems before they grow into expensive disputes.
Support For Executives And Mid-Size Employers
I work with executives, mid-level managers and employers with 25 to 100 employees on disputes involving pay, classification, overtime, bonuses and compensation agreements.
My mission is to help you resolve issues proactively and make strategic, informed decisions before they escalate.
Common Wage and Hour Issues I Handle
Wage and hour disputes can look different depending on whether you are an employee seeking compensation or an employer trying to comply with the law.
I review the facts, documents and applicable rules before recommending a strategy.
For High-Earning Professionals
I help professionals address compensation issues involving:
- Misclassification of exempt employees
- Unpaid bonuses and deferred compensation
- Stock option disputes
- Commission calculation errors
- Severance agreement violations
- Salary misclassification
- Wage theft claims
Don’t let a fancy job title or a high salary fool you—they don’t automatically strip away your right to overtime. My experience allows me to look past the corporate labels to find out if you are legally owed back pay, even if you are in a management or executive role.
Representation For Mid-Size Employers With 25 To 100 Employees
I help employers reduce risk and respond to wage claims involving:
- FLSA compliance audits
- Independent contractor misclassification defense
- Overtime exemption analysis
- Wage and hour policy development
- DOL investigation representation
- Bonus recovery litigation concerns
As an experienced employment lawyer, I also help employers review whether workers are properly classified as exempt.
If a wage and hour claim is filed, I can help assess exposure, preserve records and respond strategically.
