Understanding Your Rights

Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and state wage laws, most employees who work more than 40 hours in a workweek are entitled to overtime pay at a rate of 1.5 times their regular hourly wage. Employers may violate these laws in several ways, including:

  • Misclassifying employees as exempt from overtime
  • Failing to record or compensate for all hours worked
  • Requiring employees to work off the clock
  • Offering “comp time” instead of overtime pay (in violation of wage laws)

How We Can Help

  • Investigate your employer’s pay practices
  • Gather evidence of unpaid wages
  • File claims with the appropriate labor agencies
  • Pursue litigation if necessary to recover what you are owed

Potential Remedies

Victims of unpaid overtime may be entitled to:

  • Back pay for unpaid wages
  • Liquidated damages (double damages in some cases)
  • Attorney’s fees and court costs
  • Protection from employer retaliation
