(EMAILWIRE.COM, February 26, 2010 ) New York, NY - IQ Overtime is pleased to offer a newly created Directory of State Overtime Pay Laws for individuals who are interested in researching their rights to overtime pay. Workers who believe that they are being unfairly denied overtime wages can use this resource to learn more about the regulations in their state and determine if their employer is violating the law. A Free Case Evaluation is also available on the site for those who wish to pursue an overtime lawsuit.
According to a federal law known as the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees are entitled to overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a single workweek. However, some states have their own regulations regarding minimum wage, overtime pay, employer record keeping, meal and rest breaks, and other labor issues. IQ OvertimeÂ’s Directory of State Overtime Laws includes information on wage and hour laws in all 50 states. A frequently asked questions section is also included on each stateÂ’s overtime law page in order to address some of the common concerns that workers have regarding overtime pay.
If you work over 40 hours per week, you may be entitled to overtime pay even if your employer tells you that you are not eligible to receive it. Some employers intentionally misclassify their employees in order to avoid paying them time and a half for the overtime hours they work. Other ways that employers may violate the FLSA include forcing employees to work off the clock, offering comp time instead of overtime pay, and paying employees at their regular rate for overtime hours.
If you believe that your employer has denied you the overtime pay you deserve, you may be entitled to participate in an overtime lawsuit and recover unpaid wages and other damages.
