wage & overtime claims

Overtime claims or wage and hour claims generally fall under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The United States Government enacted The Fair Labor Standards Act to protect the rights of workers. The FLSA mandates that, with some exceptions, employees should receive their regular rate of pay for the first 40 hours worked and are entitled to overtime compensation at 1.5 times their regular rate for each hour worked after 40 hours in a given work week. For most employees, this is true regardless of the worker's job title, or how the worker is paid (i.e. hourly, salary, commission, by job completion) or what the employer has told the employee about overtime.
