It's Time to Recover What's Owed

Are you a victim of unpaid overtime violations? Do you suspect that your employer has misclassified you as exempt from overtime pay or failed to pay you for all the hours you worked? If so, you may be entitled to compensation for your unpaid wages and additional damages under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

What is the FLSA?

The FLSA is a federal law that establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and child labor standards for employees in the private sector and in federal, state, and local governments. The FLSA requires employers to pay eligible employees at least one and a half times their regular rate of pay for any hours worked over 40 in a workweek, unless they are exempt from overtime pay under certain criteria.

Unfortunately, many employers violate the FLSA by:

  • Misclassifying employees as exempt from overtime pay based on their job title, salary, or duties, even though they do not meet the legal requirements for exemption
  • Failing to pay employees for all the hours they work, such as time spent putting on safety equipment, checking emails from home, attending mandatory meetings, or traveling between work sites
  • Deducting time from employees’ paychecks for breaks, meals, or other reasons that are not authorized by law
  • Miscalculating employees’ regular rate of pay by excluding bonuses, commissions, tips, or other forms of compensation that should be included in the overtime calculation
  • Forcing employees to work off-the-clock or not recording their overtime hours
  • Retaliating against employees who complain about unpaid overtime or cooperate with a wage and hour investigation
