Overtime & Wages  
Is your employer violating the law by failing to pay you minimum or
overtime wages? 
 
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is a federal law that requires overtime pay to be paid to most employees at the rate of one and one-half times their regular rate of pay when employees work more than 40 hours in a week. (The regular rate of pay is equal to an employee’s hourly rate of pay or higher). The majority of employees in this country are covered by the FLSA.
 
 
 
Some of the most common ways that employers violate the overtime laws include:  

• Improper calculation of the rate at which overtime is paid.
• Failure to count work time - employees “off-the-clock” or failing to
  count pre-shift or post-shift activities as work time.
• Improperly failing to pay true time and one-half overtime pay by
  wrongly claiming that the employees are somehow exempt from
  the overtime laws.
