Unpaid Overtime Attorneys Recover Overtime Wages
May 9th, 2010Miami’s Pinkert Law Firm helps employees get the overtime pay they’re legally entitled to.
MIAMI, Florida, April 21, 2010—The Miami-based unpaid overtime attorneys at Pinkert Law Firm (http://www.pinkert.us) are offering free consultations to retail employees who haven’t been paid time and a half for their overtime hours. According to the Fair Labor Standards Act, employers are legally required to pay time and a half for every overtime hour worked.
It’s not uncommon for retail workers to work overtime hours when they are able to pick up extra shifts or when the store where they work is understaffed. As long as they are properly compensated, this is completely legal.
The problem occurs when employers don’t follow overtime regulations, and employees end up working unpaid overtime hours. When that happens, employees may be able to file a claim against their employer to recover the wages they should legally have been paid for their overtime.
If retail employees have not been properly compensated for their overtime hours, Pinkert Law Firm can help them file a claim against their employer, even if they no longer work there.
In addition, according to Florida wage and hour laws, if the shop employee or retail worker files a claim about unpaid overtime, he or she is legally protected from being fired or retaliated against, and upon winning the case, the employer will be held responsible for all legal fees that have been incurred by the employee.
Retail employees can contact Pinkert Law Firm at (305) 670-9000 or [email protected] for a free consultation or to file a claim.
