FAILURE TO PAY OVERTIME
What Are Employment Claims?
There are many diverse situations that fall under the general umbrella of employment claims. Specifically, these situations include:
• Discrimination based on age, race, gender, disability or religion
• Sexual harassment by an employer or a co-worker
• Hostile work environment created by an employer or a co-worker
• Whistleblower claims
• Failure to pay overtime
• Violation of the Family and Medical Leave Act
What Is a Failure to Pay Overtime Claim?
No matter what your job is — factory worker, office administrator, telemarketer — if you are entitled to overtime pay, your employer cannot ask you to work without overtime pay. If you have not been paid overtime you have earned, you could be entitled to unpaid wages for all the weeks, months, or years your employer ignored overtime labor laws. Here are some examples.
• Did your employer change your job title and tell you that you can no longer get overtime pay? If your duties did not substantially change, your right to overtime pay did not change.
• Are you classified as exempt even though your job duties fit in a non-exempt category? This may be an attempt by your employer to cheat you out of overtime pay.
• Are you being paid for all the hours you are required to work – including overtime? Some employers try to convince employees that start-up preparations and end-of-work cleanup are not working hours even though those tasks must get done.
