What is Overtime Wage Theft?

Unfortunately, some employers attempt to cut costs by denying their workers rightful pay, often through deceitful methods. This is called wage theft and is against the law.

When you haven’t been paid the proper rate or at all for the time you worked outside of regular work hours, you may have experienced overtime wage theft. Wage theft doesn’t always appear as simple as money missing from your paycheck, however. For example, granting an employee “comp time” or hours that can be used toward vacation or sick time—rather than monetary overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a week—can be considered wage theft as well.

Some of the occupations most vulnerable to overtime wage violations include:

• Call center workers
• Delivery drivers
• Disaster relief workers
• “Gig” workers
• Healthcare workers
• IT employees
• Oil and gas field workers
• Retail employees
• Sales representatives
• Service technicians
• Tipped employees

Laws Regarding Overtime Pay

In most cases, Florida employees are entitled to “time and a half” pay for any hours that exceed their 40-hour workweek. This means that you should receive 1.5 times your hourly wage for every hour that you work outside of your normal 40 hours. However, not all employees are entitled to overtime.

Some of those who do not receive overtime can include:

• Executives
• Certain salaried administrative positions
• Certain professionals that require advanced knowledge, such as artists, computer professionals, and certified teachers
• Outside sales professionals who are salaried or commission-based

In each of the above, certain qualifications apply and overtime laws are very detailed. Let our knowledgeable Miami employment lawyer investigate your case to see if you are being paid fairly. We are focused on taking action and being vested in the legal process, an attitude that produces results.

Don’t Be Afraid of Your Employer

Companies can be imposing and intimidating. If you are suffering the burden of unpaid wages, you need to stand up to your boss. You may be worried about the consequences you will face if you hire an attorney. Thankfully, federal and state laws prohibit retaliation to protect employees from discrimination and unjust treatment after they have complained about their company or reported illegal activity.
