What Counts as an Unpaid Overtime Violation?

Under federal and Georgia law, most employees are entitled to time-and-a-half pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Common violations include:

  • Being told you’re “salaried” or “exempt” when the law says you’re not
  • Not being paid for work before or after scheduled shifts (meetings, prep, cleanup, etc.)
  • Required off-the-clock work
  • Improper rounding practices that reduce total pay
  • Misclassification as an independent contractor to avoid overtime

Think You Have an Unpaid Overtime Claim?

If you believe your employer failed to pay overtime wages you earned, we can review your schedule and pay records to determine if you have a valid claim.
