According to employment laws implemented by the FLSA, many employees are entitled to overtime wages when working beyond their normal work schedule. Although these laws don't protect all employees and some may be exempt, it is important to contact our overtime wage attorneys so we can evaluate whether you are entitled to overtime wages. If so, we can help in obtaining these amounts. An employee may be exempt depending on the type of business they work in, or the type of work they do specifically. In many cases, an employer thinks that their employees are exempt from these laws, when in fact, they are not, and are entitled to overtime pay.

Are you an employee being denied unpaid overtime pay and being forced to work off the clock? You may be entitled to overtime wage benefits! Contact our overtime wage attorneys at LaBovick Law Group today.

Some tactics that employers may use to avoid overtime pay include:

Paying employees on a salary basis
Giving their employees a specific title
Giving their employees certain responsibilities

One common misconception is that if an employee is "salaried", they do not qualify for overtime pay. Although this may be true in some cases, this is not always so and it is best to consult with our attorneys so we can evaluate all factors of your situation and determine if you may, in fact, be eligible and not exempt.

Employees that are exempt from the laws enforced by the FLSA are usually required to work long hours with little to no management authority or responsibilities and  don't receive any additional benefits or pay. At LaBovick Law Group, our overtime wage attorneys have knowledge in FLSA laws and know how they are applied when it comes to specific job tasks and expectations.

Many employers use whatever methods they can to avoid paying their employees the federal minimum wage or the overtime wages they deserve. If you are not being paid minimum wage and are not an agricultural worker, contact our attorneys today. Additionally, if your job title is something along the lines of manager, supervisor or directory, and you do not have authority over department personnel or budget, you may be entitled to overtime wages.
