Yes, a Veterans Administration (VA) employee may be able to file an unpaid overtime lawsuit unless otherwise exempt by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). According to the FLSA, VA employees are almost always considered non-exempt and therefore entitled to overtime pay. However, employers often violate the FLSA by failing to pay VA employees the required overtime pay which may result in an unpaid overtime lawsuit.
If you believe you have been denied overtime pay, your best option is to contact an experienced attorney who can advise you of your rights under the FLSA and state laws. By talking to one of our experienced unpaid overtime lawsuit attorneys we can tell you whether you may be entitled to file a claim eliminating a lot of work if you were to represent yourself.
The FLSA has many rules and exceptions, and state laws can complicate the picture even more. There are strict time deadlines for filing a VA employee unpaid overtime lawsuit, so it is essential that you contact an attorney immediately.
