Yes, a casino must pay its workers overtime pay for changing into uniforms before work. However, many casino operators try to skirt the wage and hour laws by not paying overtime wages to the employees or “rounding up or down” the hours, which is illegal.
Often times, casino workers are required to arrive before their shift to change into their uniforms even before they clock into work and then stay after their shift is over to change out of their uniforms. This may only seem like an extra thirty minutes a day, but overtime pay is required for this time.
An experienced overtime pay attorney can determine whether you are entitled to overtime wages based upon your job description, job duties, rate of pay, and number of hours worked. There are strict time deadlines for filing lawsuits so it is essential that you contact an attorney immediately.
