Houston Overtime Pay Dispute Lawyer

There can be no mistake about it: a company's employees are the ones responsible for any success that a business may have. Occasionally, a looming deadline or spike in demand for a business's goods and services puts non-exempt workers in a position where they must work longer than the standard 40 hour work week. Or maybe an employer regularly expects you to come early and stay late or to take your work home with you on the weekends.

While that is perfectly legal, the Fair Labor Standards Act requires non-exempt employees to be paid at least 1.5 times their regular wage for hours worked beyond the standard 40 hour workweek. If you have not been compensated according to the terms of the law, contact the Houston overtime pay dispute lawyers of the Ross Law Group at 713-482-6910. You may be entitled to unpaid income, penalties, interest, and legal fees.

A Common Practice

Despite the fact that it is against the law, many companies continue to engage in this prohibited practice. They rely on an employee's comparative lack of familiarity with overtime laws and see withholding overtime pay as a convenient way to boost profits. That's unacceptable, and if you fall into these categories you may be eligible for overtime pay:

• Your annual pay is less than $23,660 per year
• Your pay is hourly
• Your role is not in management and you work in a physically intensive field such as construction, manufacturing, or the restaurant industry

There are many other groups that qualify, so contact the Houston overtime pay lawyers of the Ross Law Group directly if you are unsure of your status.
