According to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), commissioned workers are entitled to overtime pay if they are considered non-exempt. Even when an employer does pay a commission employee overtime pay, the amount paid is often substantially less than the required amount. This is because the employer may base the overtime pay on the hourly wage or salary and does not include the commission pay. If this is indeed the case, your employer may be in violation of federal overtime pay laws.
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. There are strict time deadlines for filing lawsuits, so it is essential that you contact an attorney immediately. If you wait, you may lose your ability to recover some or all of your back pay.
