The Fair Labor Standards Act allows overtime lawsuits to be filed for a variety of reasons. Some of these catalysts may include employers incorrectly classifying employees as “exempt” under FLSA overtime requirements, employers neglecting to compensate for “off the clock” hours worked by an employee, and employers not including “wage augments” while calculating an overtime payment.

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) created specific compensation guidelines and definitions for FLSA overtime, overtime, work time, off the clock work, travel time, training time, sleep time, meal periods, work weeks, and alternative work periods for different professions. Although an effort was made to clarify all aspects of the legislation, violations still take place. Whether these activities are accidental or intentional, the employee remains the victim.

If you have not been compensating fairly for your overtime work, do not hesitate to discuss your case with an attorney. A compassionate lawyer can help you fight for justice and obtain the reparations you deserve. You owe it to yourself and your family to remain vigilant by calling attention to those whose illegal actions have disrespected employment laws.
