Through its Saturday Lawyer Program, AVLF provides free legal representation to eligible workers with a claim for unpaid wages against an employer. The most common cases we handle involve employers who:
- Refuse to give an employee his or her last paycheck
- Refuse to pay anything at all for work performed
- Skipped paychecks
- Failed to pay minimum wage or overtime
Not all employment cases are appropriate for our program. We do not assist with cases involving:
- Only vacation, sick, or holiday pay
- Bonuses or commissions
- Employment discrimination
- Workers’ compensation
- Unemployment insurance
- Pensions
- Claims of wrongful termination
Who We Assist
To qualify, workers must:
- Live in or have a case in Fulton County or Clayton County
- Have a household income at or below 200% of the federal poverty level
