Get Your Overtime Wages Paid
Get The Money You Worked Hard For
If you are working more than 40 hours per week, and not getting paid 1 1/2 times your regular rate of pay for your overtime wages, your employer is stealing from you. Contact our office today and get advice from an experienced overtime attorney to recover your unpaid wages.
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) protects all employees working more than 40 hours a week. The FLSA requires your employer to pay you 1 1/2 times your hourly rate of pay. For instance, if you are paid $10 per hour, for your overtime hours you are supposed to be paid $15 per hour.

You are owed overtime pay even if:
- You are paid a salary
- You are a tipped employee
- Your job title is manager, but you do very little managerial work
- You are paid on a piece work or per trip basis
- You are not a U.S. Citizen
- You don't have records of all the hours you worked
Representation By An Experienced Overtime Attorney
If you work over 40 hours you are entitled to overtime pay.
Our office has handled some of the largest Florida overtime wage claims. Attorneys in our office were recently appointed in Federal Court as lead counsel in an Overtime Class Action against a large Fortune 500 Company. The FLSA is a complex law filled with exceptions and exemptions. You need an Overtime Attorney that knows the law inside and out.
Don't Wait Too Long
The FLSA only permits an employee to recover up to two years (sometimes three years if the employer's violation is found to have been reckless) of unpaid back-wages. With every day that passes, you lose valuable time in which to recover your overtime. An attorney from our office can help.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What if I can't afford an overtime attorney to pursue my claim?
The Overtime Attorneys in our office only get paid if you get paid. We handle all Overtime Wage Claims on a contingent basis. If you don't get paid, we don't get paid. Additionally, the Fair Labor Standards Act requires the employer to pay an employee's attorney's fees and costs if the employee is successful.
How much can I recover?
The FLSA allows for recovery of your overtime pay, and under certain circumstances, additional damages the Court can award to penalize your employer for intentionally refusing to pay your overtime wages.
Can my boss fire me for bringing a claim?
No. The FLSA prevents any employer from taking any retaliation against an employee that pursues their right to collect overtime wages. If an employer retaliates against an employee, the employee can recover additional money from the employer.
Salaried employees are entitled
to pay for their overtime hours.
What if I am paid by salary?
Many employers mistakenly tell their employees they don't get overtime if they are paid a salary. This is wrong. Even salaried employees are entitled to be paid an overtime premium for their overtime hours.
