If you have not been paid for your overtime work and want to sue your company for unpaid overtime pay, the first step is to contact an employment lawyer to determine whether you are considered a covered employee under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Not all employees are covered under the FLSA, however workers covered under the FLSA can sue their past or present employer if required overtime wages were not properly paid.
There are two ways you can sue your company for these unpaid wages. Employees can either file an individual lawsuit class action lawsuit, also known as “collective action lawsuits.” A class action lawsuit means that multiple employees at the same company have similar types of claims. An employee can also join an existing class action overtime lawsuit if it has already been filed. Every case is different, therefore to ensure you receive your back wages, it is important to discuss your claim with an attorney who can determine which lawsuit is the best option for you.
