If you are denied overtime pay and you are a “non-exempt” employee covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) you do have legal rights and may be able to pursue a lawsuit against your employer. Workers who are classified as “non-exempt” under the law are entitled to receive such benefits. If you are unsure if you are “non-exempt,” it is important that you talk to an experienced overtime pay laws attorney who can help determine if you can file a claim.
The FLSA and state laws set the overtime rate of pay of one and a half times (1.5 times) the regular hourly wage or similarly calculated compensation for a salaried employee who works more than 40 hours in a single workweek. Claims for unpaid wages can often be sought dating two years back from the filing of the lawsuit and continue forward until the case is settled. In some states, certain laws permit the claims to seek unpaid wages even more than two years in the past.
