Find Information About Overtime Lawsuits

If you are working overtime hours at your job and your employer is not paying you overtime wages, you do have legal rights. The federal overtime pay laws permit employees to recover unpaid overtime wages beginning two years before a lawsuit is filed and continuing forward into the future until your case is resolved. For many workers just like you, this can mean thousands of dollars in underpaid wages that the employer owes you for work already performed.
