The  Wage Lawyers

Why Choose SLG?

Because you earned it - fair pay and equal treatment in the workplace is the law.  The Fair Labor Standards Act, commonly known as the “FLSA,” requires covered employers to pay their employees time and one-half of their regular rate of pay for each and every hour worked over Forty (40) in a work week.  

At the Shavitz Law Group, P.A., we believe that every client deserves personalized attention and quality legal representation – in every case we handle.  Through a team of exceptional people, we provide free initial consultations and then work with each of our clients to try and achieve a fair resolution that meets their individual circumstances.

By employing proactive litigation strategies, we’ve helped thousands of workers stand up for their right to be fairly compensated and treated equally.  Together, we’ll help you fight against discrimination in the workplace and to recover your unpaid overtime wages from any job you’ve worked at within the past three (3) years - because you earned it. 

For assertive and dedicated representation, CONTACT US at the Shavitz Law Group, P.A. today for a free consultation. 

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.
