Appealing A Denial Of Benefits

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.

Countless high-risk workers in Fort Worth and across Texas are injured in on-the-job accidents every day due to the dangerous, life-threatening work conditions surrounding them on a daily basis. These accidents are often caused by unsafe work conditions, the lack of safety equipment, lack of training, improper supervision, or other forms of negligence.

The resulting injuries these workers suffer can oftentimes be very serious, resulting in short or long-term disability, permanent work loss, and sometimes even wrongful death.

Workers’ Compensation

Filing a workers’ compensation claim might be an injured employee’s only option for recovery, but contrairy to popular belief, this is not always the case. Texas (unlike nearly every other state) does not require employers to purchase workers’ comp insurance coverage. Additionally, your legal options are dependent on your worker status (employee vs contractor). While this causes a lot of misinformation surrounding a worker’s ability to sue following an accident, our Texas work injury lawyers have extensive experience in these type of cases. We’re happy to discuss your particular situation over the phone or by email, free of charge, when you call 1-877-651-1620.

Many injuries suffered by these workers will require long recoveries and often result in large medical bills and extended absences from work. You should not be forced to suffer financially for an accident caused by your employer’s negligence, and that’s where our personal injury lawyers can help. Trust in Rasansky Law Firm to handle 100% of your claim while you simply focus on recovering from your injuries.

Additionally, if you were injured on the job site due to a defective piece of equipment or machinery, you may have what’s called a “product liability” claim against the manufacturer responsible. These type of claims are very different from other types of worker injury claims, but we can explain all of this in detail during your free consultation.
