There are two ways you can sue your employer for unpaid overtime pay you did not receive – an individual lawsuit or collective action lawsuit.
If multiple employees at the same business have unpaid overtime claims, they may be able to file a class action lawsuit to recover their unpaid wages. These class action lawsuits are filed by the entire group and provide each employee with more strength in numbers to fight against a large business and their high paid legal team. An employee can also join an existing class action lawsuit if it has already been filed for unpaid overtime pay.
Depending on your situation will determine which type of lawsuit is better for you and how you should sue your employer for unpaid pay. Often times, unpaid overtime lawsuits result in significant settlements and compensation to the employee.
