Your Laws Under FLSA

The Fair Labor Standards Act, also known as FLSA, was implemented to ensure that your employer pays you at least the federal minimum wage and that you are given overtime pay for all hours worked over 40.

Certain employees are exempt from collecting overtime pay. Our Employment Lawyers at Whittel & Melton can help you understand if you are exempt or not. Sometimes employers will tell employees that they are exempt from overtime because they are salaried, a supervisor, manager or any other professional title. There are many employers that misclassify their employees so that they do not have to pay overtime wages.

At Whittel & Melton, we can help you uncover whether you are eligible for overtime and if you are owed any unpaid wages because of this. If we do find that you are owed money, we can assist you with filing a claim against your employer.

There are many ways for an employer to violate wage laws, including:

• Not keeping exact time log records
• Making employees work off the clock
• Misclassifying employees
• Not paying employees at least minimum wage
• Tampering with employee’s hours worked
