(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 15, 2012 ) PHOENIX, AZ – A lawsuit was recently filed against Dollar Tree Stores for failure to pay overtime. Federal Law requires that non-exempt employees be paid time and a half for overtime. For more information, please visit: http://www.phillipslaw.com/.
Overtime pay in Arizona is constructed to ensure that employers are not taking advantage of their employees by forcing them to work additional hours for no additional pay. The United States Department of Labor defines a regular workweek as a recurring, fixed period of 168 hours. Employees who work more than the 40 hours in this workweek must receive overtime pay, unless an exemption is applicable.
Employees are covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), an essential piece of protection for all workers in the country. According to the Act, wages must be paid for overtime work when an employee exceeds the 40 hours per workweek. Once the employee has worked in excess of 40 hours, overtime pay must be at a rate of one and half times the regular payment rate.
Unfortunately, many employers in the United States and throughout the state of Arizona break the Fair Labor Standards Act. If you worked for Dollar Tree and have not been paid overtime you should contact Phillips Law Group at 1-800-706-3000 and ask for attorney Trey Dayes.
