Are You Owed An Overtime Wage Under Florida Law?

One of the primary laws dealing with overtime in the U. S. is the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) which was passed in 1937. The United States adopted the Act in order to set certain wage standards and guidelines for employers. The FLSA requires that employees who work overtime be paid for the additional time they have worked beyond the standard 40 hour work week.

Checking Office Email on Your PDA? You Might be Owed Overtime Pay Under the Florida Overtime Wage Laws!

Let's face it - the PDA the office gave you can be both a blessing and a curse! So can your office cell phone or Blackberry, for that matter. While it is great to be able to work from home and access your office information at any time, these devices are "electronic leashes" that can keep you plugged into the company 24/7.

The Fair Labor Standards Act requires most employers to pay their employees one and one half times their regular rate of pay for any hours worked in excess of forty (40) hours per work week. This law applies to employees who are being paid on a hourly basis, being paid a salary, and even those paid by tips, such as waitresses and bartenders.

Florida Overtime Wage Claims

Employees work day in and day out according to the demands of their employers. In return, they get wages for their hard work and they sometimes get benefits, but employees don't always get everything they deserve when it comes to getting paid for the number of hours they have worked. Partly, this can be due to intimidation on the part of the employee - they may feel they can not question the boss. But often, the employee isn't even aware they have the right to get paid overtime under certain cir… Continue

Florida Overtime Wage Claims - Does your Employer Owe You Money?

The recent downturn in the economy has led many employers to make hard decisions about how to most effectively reduce costs while continuing to run a business and keep it profitable through a recession. Because employee wages represent an area that can be trimmed or scaled back, many businesses have been forced to lay off workers. But these job cuts can mean an increase in work for the remaining employees who have to pick up the workload of the people who have been laid off. This has often resul… Continue

Florida Overtime Wage Claims

Overtime wages is a common area where employers take advantage of their workers, and employees should protect themselves by becoming… Continue

8 Ways Employers Bend The Florida Overtime Wage Laws

The Fair Labor and Standards Act (FLSA) requires employees who work overtime to be paid for the additional work they have done beyond the standard 40 hour work week. Even though this law is supposed to make things standard across the country so all employees are treated fairly, some employers routinely "cheat" their employees out of overtime pay, even if they do it unintentionally. Because the law is confusing and complex, it is easy for employers to either misinterpret the FSLA or to "bend" the… Continue
