Yes, according to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), insurance adjusters are entitled to overtime pay. Overtime wages should equal one and one-half times their regular rate of pay. However, some states have also enacted overtime laws that regulate the number of hours an employee can work within 24 hours before receiving overtime. That is why, it is important to consult an experienced unpaid overtime lawsuit attorney about your possible case.
It is rarely ever a “nine to five” type job because of all of the different types of tasks that need to be performed on a daily basis. These include telephone calls with the insured clients, interviews with claimants, conversations with attorneys, and extensive document reviews. Quite often there is travel to a location for an inspection or an interview and even driving to and from a courthouse for a trial or mediation. This almost always exceeds a 40 hour work week but most insurance companies to not pay their adjusters the required overtime pay.
