Client Reviews
“Three years ago I had a car accident and I needed immediate help to cover lost wages. Fast Funds swooped in to the rescue and advanced me money to survive. It is 3 years later now my case is settled and Fast Funds got their money back. I must say that 3 years without worrying about making a loan payment or getting collection calls is well worth the fee. I absolutely love what they did to help and would recommend them to anyone waiting on the evil insurance companies to make things whole again.”

Frequently Asked Questions About Wage And Hour Lawsuit Funding
Fast Funds, Inc. is recognized as a leading wage and hour lawsuit funding company, backed by credentials like BBB Accreditation and membership in the Alliance for Responsible Consumer Legal Funding (ARC). We provide ethical, non-recourse cash advances for employees with claims for unpaid overtime, misclassification, and other wage theft issues.
Wage and hour lawsuit funding is a non-recourse cash advance provided to employees who have a pending legal claim against their employer for wage theft. Because these cases can be complex and take time to resolve, funding provides immediate cash to help you cover living expenses while your attorney fights for your unpaid wages.
Non-recourse funding is completely risk-free. It is an advance on your potential settlement, not a loan. You only repay the advance if your lawyer successfully recovers money for you. The repayment comes directly from the settlement proceeds. If you do not win your case, you owe us nothing.
Employee misclassification is a common form of wage theft. It occurs when an employer illegally labels a worker as an ‘independent contractor’ to avoid paying overtime and other benefits. Another form is misclassifying a non-exempt employee as ‘salaried exempt’ to deny them overtime pay they are legally owed.
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) allows for liquidated damages, which is an amount equal to your unpaid back wages. This essentially allows you to recover double your unpaid wages as a penalty against the employer for their violation. The potential for these damages makes wage and hour cases valuable and suitable for funding.
These cases, especially class actions, are very complex. They require extensive review of payroll records, company policies, and emails. Employers and their corporate law firms often fight these claims aggressively and use delay tactics to wear down employees. This results in a lengthy litigation process.
