In general, the statute of limitations for filing a wage and hour claim is two to three years, depending on the specific violation and the state in which the claim is being filed. However, it's important to note that some states have longer or shorter statute of limitations for certain claims. It's best to check with your state's labor department or an employment attorney to determine the specific time frame for your claim. In Michigan, the statute of limitations for filing a wage and hour claim is three years. This means that employees have three years from the date the wage violation occurred to file a claim. However, if the employer's violation was willful, meaning they knew they were violating the law but did it anyway, the statute of limitations is extended to six years.
