Unfair Employment PracticesAll too often, employers take advantage of their position of power (especially in times of high unemployment) by refusing to pay employees overtime or paying employees below minimum wage. Employers continue to use these unfair practices because they assume that employees will not know the rights that they are entitled to under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Overtime Pay"Non-exempt" employees are entitled to overtime pay for any hours worked over 40 in a single work week, even if those hours were worked off of the employer's premises. Any time spent working for the benefit of the employer must be paid and "off-the-clock" work is strictly prohibited.
Even salaried employees can be deemed "non-exempt" and entitled to overtime pay if they make no more than $455 per week OR are not performing duties of an exempt employee. An employment attorney from our law firm can help you understand your employee rights under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
