Unpaid Overtime

Several common issues with regard to overtime pay:

• Unpaid Overtime – If you believe you have worked overtime without receiving fair pay, contact our overtime lawyers for a complimentary case review. No one should work without receiving pay in return.
• Exempt from Overtime – Collective bargaining agreement may address the wages, hours, and other conditions of employment between an employer and employee representations (such as a union). Generally, an employee, or union on behalf of an employee, may not waive his or her rights to overtime pay by agreement or contract.
• Working “Off the Clock” – The term “employ” includes the words “suffer or permit to work.” This means that if an employer requires or allows employees to work, the time spent is generally considered hours worked, and may count toward overtime.
• Rework – When an employee must correct mistakes or errors in his or her work, the time spent “reworking” must be treated as hours worked, even if the employee voluntarily undertakes the work.
• Waiting for Work – The time an employee is required or allowed to be at work for the employer is hours worked. The Supreme Court has stated that employees subject to FLSA must be paid for all the time spent in “physical or mental exertion (whether burdensome or not) controlled or required by the employer and pursued necessarily and primarily for the benefit of the employer of his business.”
• Overtime Regardless of Place of Work – The hours worked include the hours in which an employee is required or allowed to perform work for an employer, regardless of where the work is done. This includes the employer’s premises, a designated work place, a home, or some other location.
• Volunteer Overtime – An employer is responsible for overseeing and exercising control over its employee’s work, and cannot accept the benefits of work without considering the time spent to be hours worked. An employer must make every effort to enforce rules and policies regarding overtime work.

Unpaid Overtime Lawsuits

Workers are fighting back against corporations unfairly making profits through unpaid overtime. Unpaid overtime lawsuits have been filed against AT&T, Wal-Mart, Starbucks, and countless other companies. Corporations have been found guilty of bilking employees out of their pay for working overtime. They force employees to remain on the job after clocking out, intimidate workers who ask for overtime pay, fail to follow the new overtime regulations set by the government, and engage in several other despicable practices regarding overtime pay, while manufacturing companies have more defined schedules and that’s why these companies use a manufacturing recruiter Utah to get good employees for these services.
