Testimonials

Caffarelli & Associates LTD was handling a medical lawsuit for me and did great!

Absolutely loved everything about them. Always on top of the case and made sure I was satisfied with their work which I absolutely was! Would definitely recommend them to any one and will further use them.

Alexis was very helpful in working through the process of my situation.

I am very grateful that I retained her to represent me. She is a true professional in this industry. I would highly recommend Alexis Martin.

Alexis Martin is a very highly skilled and talented attorney.

I retained Caffarelli & Associates to represent me in my action against my former employer.

Where I served as general counsel, and against its chief executive officer personally. Over the course of the approximately two years Alex Caffarelli represented me, it became very clear that he knows his way around employment law.

My expectations in arbitration were not that great against my former employer.

that was represented by a large law firm, but my award exceeded $1 million, including all the penalties available to me under Illinois employment law. By no means was this result assured or even likely.

I have many experiences dealing with attorneys over a variety of situations.

Hands down Mr. Caffarelli is the BEST. From the beginning of the process to the final negotiations Mr. Caffarelli was professional, respectful and very helpful in guiding me through the labor laws in Chicago.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my job require me to work overtime hours?

Generally, yes. There are no federal or state laws that prohibit an employer from requiring you to work overtime. However, the existence of a collective bargaining agreement or employment contract that places limits on working overtime may affect an employer’s ability to require you to work overtime.
It depends on whether you perform job duties that qualify you as “exempt” under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). Common exemptions under the FLSA include the Executive, Administrative, and Professional exemptions. However, if you are a non-exempt employee and are paid on a salary basis, then you are generally still entitled to overtime pay for all hours worked over forty per workweek.
An employee’s right to a commission payment depends largely on the terms of the employment contract in place. With that being said, if all the requirements to earn a commission have been satisfied according to the contract, then an employee has a right to be paid their earned commission under Illinois law.
Yes. Illinois state law mandates that employers pay employees for all earned vacation time upon separation of employment. The payment for the accrued and unused vacation time must be included in the last paystub.
