Unpaid Overtime Attorneys & Wage Lawyers Nationwide

If you work more than 40 hours per week, you're owed overtime pay. Overtime means 1.5 times your regular hourly rate. Federal law requires this for most workers. Some employers claim workers are "exempt" to avoid paying overtime. But the law sets strict rules about who qualifies as exempt. If your job doesn't meet those rules, you're owed overtime, no matter what your boss says.

Many salaried workers qualify for overtime. Federal law sets a salary threshold of about $680 per week. If you earn less than that, you're entitled to overtime. But even if you earn more, you might still qualify. The law looks at what you actually do, not your job title. If you don't have real management duties, you should get overtime pay. Employers often label salaried workers as "managers" to skip overtime payments. That's illegal.

Federal law lets you recover unpaid wages going back 2 years. If your employer willfully broke the law, you can go back 3 years. Some states allow even longer. New York, for example, allows 6 years. But don't wait. The clock starts from each missed paycheck. The longer you wait, the more wages fall outside the legal deadline. Contact us now to find out what you might recover.

Misclassification means your employer gives you the wrong job label. They might call you an independent contractor or supervisor. They do this to avoid paying overtime and benefits. But job titles don't matter. The law looks at what you actually do and how you work. If your boss controls your hours, sets your schedule, provides tools, and you depend on them for income, you're an employee. You deserve overtime pay. Your job title doesn't change that.
