Unpaid Overtime Lawyer
When hours worked and time spent on the job is added up, an employee may realize that she is missing pay for the overtime she put in. Employees are entitled to overtime pay if they are classified as non-exempt. At Hollifield Legal Centre for Women, we focus our attention on unpaid overtime and other employment law matters that affect women throughout Central Florida. Lead by primary attorney Travis R. Hollifield, we take the time to review your case to determine if you are entitled to back pay for overtime.
You have a right to be paid for the overtime you have worked, under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Hollifield Legal Centre for Women can help you ensure that you are properly classified as an employee, therefore getting the compensation you deserve.
The employee classifications in Florida:
Exempt: Salaried employees are exempt from overtime pay
Non-Exempt: Hourly workers are entitled to overtime wages
If you have not been paid overtime, and feel you were misclassified, you may file a legal claim. For example, as a secretary or administrative assistant, your classification as exempt may be an error, since comparable jobs are considered hourly work. Such employees may up put in many extra hours on the job. If they are "salaried," they are being asked to go above and beyond on a regular basis with no overtime pay.
Our firm carefully reviews cases to determine where the employer made mistakes, whether it was in the classification of the employee or purely in violations of overtime pay. We educate our clients on various aspects of wage and hour law and help them understand their rights.
You are entitled to time-and-a-half for every hour that you work over 40 hours in any one given work week. If you are not being paid the overtime wages you are due, it is time to seek help from an experienced firm that aggressively advocates for its clients.
