Know Your Rights

Common Overtime Violations

Employer mistakes might be costing you overtime wages that you earned - but simply not been paid - for any week in which you’ve worked more than Forty (40) hours during the past three (3) years:

  • Paying “straight time” wages for overtime hours worked – being paid the same hourly rate even for hours over Forty (40).
  • Not keeping accurate (or any!) time records of your daily start times, stop times, and actual total hours worked each week.
  • Deducting time each day for “meal breaks” even if you worked through your “so-called break”.
  • Paying only a salary – just because you are paid a salary doesn’t mean you too aren’t entitled to overtime compensation.
  • Requiring employees to perform work “off the clock” at the beginning or end of the work day.
  • Paying commission wages – even most employees who are paid partially, or entirely, through commissions are often entitled to overtime pay for hours worked over Forty (40) in a week.
  • Providing “comp time” benefits in lieu of overtime wages – the law generally prohibits private employers from giving employees “comp time” instead of paying overtime wages for hours worked over Forty (40) in a week.
