San Antonio employment lawyer Rob Wiley represents employees who are not paid overtime.
Overtime pay is one and one-half times the regular rate of pay. With few exceptions, an employee who works over 40 hours in any given workweek must be paid overtime for all work done over 40 hours.
For example, if an employee makes $10.00 an hour and works 50 hours in a workweek, then the employee should be paid $550.00, or $400.00 for the first 40 hours and $150.00 for the 10 hours of overtime. The overtime rate of pay in this example would be $15.00 per hour. It is against the law to pay a person his or her regular rate of pay for overtime work.
The 2004 amendments to federal overtime regulations now require that all blue-collar workers receive overtime pay. San Antonio employment lawyer Rob Wiley represents blue-collar workers including, among many others, mechanics, technicians, plumbers, construction workers, factory workers, and warehouse workers.
Administrative assistants, secretaries, bookkeepers, assistant managers, aides, and similar workers are also generally entitled to overtime pay.
It is against the law for an employer to refuse an employee the ability to record overtime hours, to have the employee write overtime hours in a different workweek, or to give an employee “comp time” instead of overtime.
An employee is entitled to overtime pay regardless of whether the employee volunteered or was forced to work overtime. If the employer knows, or should have known, that the work was being performed, overtime must be paid.
San Antonio employment lawyer Rob Wiley represents employees in direct actions and in class actions for unpaid overtime.
