Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”),
employers who require employees to work overtime are generally
required to pay them premium pay for such overtime work. Employees
covered by the FLSA must receive overtime pay of at least
one and one-half times their regular rate of pay for all hours
worked over forty (40) in a workweek.
Unfortunately, employers often violate federal law regarding
overtime pay. Sometimes the violations are intentional, and
sometime they are the result of an employer wrongfully classifying
employees as exempt from overtime based on their job duties.
Whether the violation is intentional or not, employees can
recover their back pay and additional amounts as damages under
the FLSA.
Many people spend the majority of their waking hours at work
trying to earn a living and provide for their families. You
deserve to receive all pay to which you are entitled under
the law. Frequently, when an employer is not complying with
federal wage and hour law with one employee, the same is true
for other employees as well. Dozier Law Group represents individuals
and groups of employees in FLSA overtime cases. We pursue
significant class action lawsuits for various employee groups
throughout Georgia.
If you believe that your employer has improperly classified
you as exempt from overtime pay or has simply failed to pay
you overtime in violation of federal law, call (404) 949-5600
to speak directly with Managing Principal Brad Dozier, an
experienced and dedicated wage and hour attorney, or
. We encourage you not to delay seeking legal representation,
as overtime cases must be brought within the statute of limitations
and can be lost forever if not pursued timely.
