Tampa Unpaid Overtime Attorney
Employers find ways to reduce expenses, oftentimes at the expense of their hard-working employees. Their focus on the bottom line often ends up violating rights and short-changing money rightfully owed to an employee.
At Wenzel Fenton Cabassa, P.A., we represent employees in individual and collective unpaid overtime actions. In some cases, mediation helps to resolve the issues. However, we pride ourselves on being trial lawyers and will not hesitate to file a lawsuit if that provides the best outcome.
St. Petersburg Wage and Hour Dispute Attorney
According to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), employers who require or allow an employee to work overtime must provide "premium pay." The employee is entitled to receive time-and-a-half pay for every hour over 40 within one work week. The FLSA does not require extra pay for weekends and holidays, unless the hours worked are above 40.
Misclassifying employees is a common tactic in reducing payroll. Workers who should be hourly employees are put on salary, freeing up the employer to have a staff member work longer hours without having to pay them. Others offer cash for "working off the clock" and going beyond 40 hours but still do not pay overtime.
Our lawyers enjoy respect from their peers coupled with a track record of success in mediating and litigating employment disputes. Many unpaid overtime claims take the form of collective actions with multiple employees victimized by an employer violating their rights under the FLSA.
Regardless of the complexity, we will take on all aspects of your case, protect your rights and fight for the best outcome.
