One of the largest issues involving overtime pay is related to how employers classify their employees. A favorite trick to avoid paying overtime is to give the worker a title, a handful of responsibilities, and call them a salaried or "exempt" employee. A salaried employee is typically exempt from the FLSA regulations governing overtime pay. Exempt employees are often required to work long hours, with little or no real management responsibilities or authority, and do not have any recourse for additional pay or benefits. Our lawyers know how FLSA laws are applied regarding specific expectations and job tasks. If you have a title of supervisor, manager, or director, and have no real authority over a department budget or personnel, it may be illegal to exempt you from FLSA regulations. You may be entitled to hourly overtime pay.

Despite having a federal and state minimum wage that keeps workers below the poverty level, many employers still think it is too much to pay. Companies will often use every trick they can to pay beneath the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour for non-agricultural workers. If you are not a farm worker, and are not being paid the minimum wage, we can help you stand up for your rights. The only way employers are going to pay employees a fair and legal wage is to stand firm. We will help you do that.
