Wage & Hour Claims

South Florida Overtime Violation Attorneys

The Fair Labor Standards Act defines two classes of employees - exempt and non-exempt. A non-exempt employee must be paid time and a half for any time worked above 40 hours per week, while an exempt employee may be subject to overtime laws if they receive salary according to the "fluctuating workweek" standard.

Defining what exactly constitutes an exempt or a non-exempt employee can pose problematic questions. An objective evaluation can show that in some cases, the job responsibilities of many salaried employees actually place them in the non-exempt category. These employees may be entitled to back pay if they have been forced to work overtime without proper overtime pay.

The attorneys at Koch & Trushin, P.A. represent employees in wage and hour claim lawsuits. If your case has merit, we may be able to obtain back pay for you and have your attorneys' fees paid by your employer.
