Fairpay Leave Disclaimer |
An employer who requires or permits an employee to work overtime is generally required to pay the employee premium pay for such overtime work. Employees covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) must receive overtime pay for hours worked in excess of 40 in a workweek of at least one and one-half times their regular rates of pay. Are you being shortchanged? Every year, employers fail to pay employees thousands of dollars in overtime. In fiscal year 2005, the Department of Labor recovered over $166 Million in unpaid overtime. Attorneys recovered millions more in private lawsuits. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, employees are owed overtime at a rate of pay of at least 1.5 times their usual rate of pay. There are exemptions from the law, but these exemptions are narrow and limited. Some employers intentionally choose not to pay earned overtime. Other employers fail to pay overtime because they do not understand the law. Regardless, if you worked more than forty hours in a work week, you may be entitled to recover your unpaid overtime plus penalties, interest, and attorneys fees.
