Dallas Overtime Claims Lawyers
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), all employees who are not exempt from overtime pay are entitled to receive time and a half pay for their overtime work. Overtime typically refers to any work hours completed in excess of 40 hours per week. Unfortunately, employers sometimes fail to properly compensate their workers according to the overtime regulations outlined in the FLSA.
If you qualify for overtime but are not being paid properly for the extra work that you complete, you may have legal grounds to pursue a lawsuit against your employer. Our Dallas overtime claims lawyers can help you explore your legal options and prepare your case to pursue the compensation you may be owed. For a confidential consultation regarding your overtime claims case, contact the Ross Law Group today at 800-634-8042.
FLSA Overtime Provisions
The Fair Labor Standards Act is the major piece of legislation that specifies who is exempt from overtime pay and who is not. Typically, employees that are paid a salary do not qualify for overtime, though some hourly employees may also be exempt. Highly skilled employees or those in technical positions, such as computer programmers or systems analysts, are typically exempt from overtime.
Salaried employees who fall into one or more of the following categories may not qualify for overtime:
- Executives
- Professionals
- Administrative workers
- Outside salespersons
Anyone who is not restricted from overtime pay under the above classifications is entitled to receive time and a half for each hour worked over 40 hours each work week.
