Do I Have a Good Overtime Compensation Case?
The first thing we do is determine if you have a good case.
We will determine if you have a good case by assessing the facts surrounding any of these common mistakes employers make:
- Not paying you the minimum wage on an hourly basis
- Ignoring the 150% premium for overtime
- Denying you overtime wages because it wasn't "approved" in advance
- Misclassifying you as "exempt" from overtime
- Making you "waive" your right to overtime
- Having you work "off the clock" resulting in overtime
Second, we will work with you to determine if you are exempt from the FLSA overtime laws. To be exempt, your employer must prove that you are paid a salary not less than $455 per week and that you are:
- An executive employee, an administrative employee, or a professional
- A computer programmer
- An outside sales employee
- A physician
- A truck driver
- An union employee (with certain restrictions)
Salaried employees are not automatically exempt from overtime. FLSA labor law rules on exemptions are complex. Calling someone a manager does not mean that they are exempt. It is the nature of your work that determines whether you are exempt.
As soon as you discover that your employer has committed a possible FLSA violation, seek experienced counsel from our Atlanta overtime lawyers.
