WASHINGTON D.C — Nowadays, many companies allow their employees to work from home either full-time or part-time in conjunction with other office hours. This saves the company significant money if office space and other overhead and allows the employee to spend less time commuting to the workplace. When a person works from home and puts in more than a 40 hour work week, the employee may be entitled to overtime pay.
Under the FLSA employers generally have to pay employees for hours they work, whether at home or at the employer’s office. The employer is required to pay at least the minimum wage for all hours worked and 1.5 times the regular rate of pay for hours worked beyond 40 hours per week.
Some states may have their own overtime pay laws that may be slightly different from the FLSA with respect to overtime pay for volunteer time. An experienced overtime pay attorney can determine whether you are entitled to overtime wages based upon your job description, job duties, rate of pay, and number of hours worked. There are strict time deadlines for filing lawsuits so it is essential that you contact an attorney immediately.
