Overtime Claims - Nationwide
Overtime pay isn't given because of employers' generosity. Overtime labor helps them build their business. Workers should always be compensated for hard work and the inconvenience of longer hours. In fact, Federal law requires that employers will pay their employees "time and a half" if they work more than 40 hours per week.

You may be entitled to back pay if you haven't been paid overtime in the last three years. This could be a lot of money and federal law says

you are entitled to it. While we encourage you to contact a lawyer if you feel that you deserve additional money please take some time to do a bit of research on your own as well. The U.S. Department of Labor has a vast amount of information to help you make an informed decision.

Every day employers cheat their employees out of earned overtime pay. Employees work hard to help their employers make money, often working long hours and on weekends. Companies should never underpay their workers, especially since the profits are generated directly from the loyalty, hard work and overtime worked by employees.

Who is Eligible for Overtime Pay?

There are many misconceptions about who is entitled to receive overtime pay. Just because your employer or coworkers have told you that you're not entitled to overtime pay is no reason to conclude that you shouldn't receive time-and-a-half. Below is a short list of occupations that are typically entitled to overtime pay:

  • Nurse (LVN)
  • Claims Adjuster
  • Auto Mechanic
  • Bookkeeper
  • Cable Installers
  • Carpenters
  • Child Care Workers
  • Clerical Workers
  • Construction Jobs
  • Delivery Drivers
  • Dishwashers
  • Electrical Workers
  • Food Preparers
  • Grocery Workers
  • Hospital Workers
  • Hotel Employees
  • Janitorial Workers
  • Legal Assistants
  • Manager Trainees
  • Medical Assistants
  • Retail Employees
  • Secretaries
  • Plant Workers
  • ... and many more!
  • Retaliation by employers is strictly prohibited. If your employer retaliates against you because of your complaint, document it. Documenting your claim could potentially help you settle any disputes over discrimination or wrongful termination.
