Unpaid Overtime
Miami, Florida Unpaid Overtime Lawyer
Florida employers are cutting labor costs yet hanging onto the labor. They find ways to reduce costs by underpaying their employees. Unpaid overtime is unfair. Not paying hard-working employees well is similar to violating their workplace rights.
Our Miami Unpaid Overtime Lawyers are experienced in representing employees in both individual and collective unpaid overtime activities. At the Law Office of Henry Hernandez, P.A., we undertake immense pride in being trial lawyers. So we will not think twice before filing a lawsuit if it promises the best outcome.
Wage and Hour Dispute Attorney at Miami-Dade, Collier County, and Broward
Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the federal law establishes minimum wage, overtime pay eligibility standards for full-time and part-time workers within the private sector, state governments, federal, and local governments. Under this law, employers must provide “premium pay” to employees working overtime. For each hour over forty within a week’s work, the employee is entitled to receive time-and-a-half pay. No additional payment is required to be paid for holidays or weekends unless the work hours hit over 40.
In many cases, employers misclassify their employees to cut down on payroll. This is a common tactic used by industries throughout Broward, Miami-Dade, Collier County, St Lucie County, Martin County, Indian River County, Pt. St Lucie, Treasure Coast, Ft. Pierce, Vero Beach, Jensen Beach, Jupiter, Deerfield Beach, Riviera Beach, and Delray Beach. These employees classify workers as ‘salaried’ instead of ‘hourly employees’. This frees them up to make a staff member work longer hours without paying extra. Many offer cash for “working off the clock” and also for going beyond 40 hours. However, they still refuse to pay overtime.
