 The
Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires employers to pay employees who are not
otherwise exempt at least the federal minimum wage and overtime pay for all
hours worked over 40 in a work week.
Covered employees must be paid for all hours worked in a
work week. In general, compensable hours worked include all time an employee is
on duty or at a prescribed place of work and any time that an employee is
subjected to work. This would generally include work performed at home, travel
time, waiting time, training, and probationary periods.

One of the biggest
misconceptions regarding salaried employees is that,
because they are paid a salary from their employer, the
are not entitled to receive overtime pay.
The reality is that many
salaried employees ARE entitled to receive overtime
pay. While most employers adhere to the Overtime Pay
Laws specified by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA),
some employers still choose to be non-compliant.
These employers use the
employees assumption that salaried employees are not
eligible to receive overtime pay, which in
effect, pockets earned wages rightfully owed to their
employees.
The FLSA has strict
guidelines which an employer must follow for an employee
to be correctly designated as "Overtime Exempt". If
these guidelines are not met, an employee who would
normally be "Overtime Exempt" becomes eligible to
receive overtime pay

The laws for overtime
are very specific and must be adhered to by all
employers. If the failure to properly pay overtime
to entitled employees is determined to be intentional, a
successful overtime pay claim may also result in
monetary damages to be awarded in addition to the amount
owed the employee.
An overtime pay
legal claim may be brought against both a current or
previous employer. If the claim is brought against a
current employer, the employer may not fire you or
retaliate against you in any form as a result of the
overtime pay dispute.
If the employer does
retaliate or terminate you, and your work history shows
the actions of your current employer were sudden and
unwarranted based upon your work history and / or
previous evaluations, depending upon the circumstances,
a retaliation, hostile work environment, or wrongful
termination claim may also be brought against the
employer on your behalf.
