(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 15, 2011 ) Orlando, Florida – New Jersey overtime law states that all eligible workers must receive time-and-a-half their regular rate for every hour worked in excess of 40 in a single workweek. When a worker is denied overtime pay in violation of New Jersey overtime law, they may be able to file a claim to collect up two years of unpaid overtime. In addition, a plaintiff filing an overtime lawsuit in New Jersey may also be eligible for liquidated damages, which match the amount of unpaid overtime recovered.

New Jersey overtime laws state that all non-exempt employees, who do not meet the requirements of an overtime exemption, receive time-and-a-half wages for every hour worked over 40 in a single workweek. While certain employees, including company executives, are prohibited from receiving overtime wages, most workers are non-exempt and therefore entitled to premium wages for their overtime hours. Workers who have been denied overtime pay in New Jersey can speak with an overtime lawyer to determine whether they have been wrongfully deprived of time-and-a-half wages.
There are several ways in which a company can deny overtime wages in violation of New Jersey overtime law. For instance, employee misclassification is a common overtime abuse which occurs when an employer avoids paying overtime by intentionally classifying a non-exempt employee (one who is eligible for overtime pay) into an exempt category. Working off the clock is another violation of New Jersey overtime law which occurs when an employer permits or forces an employee to work before their shift begins or after their shift has ended without paying them for this time. Employees who have been subjected to either of these overtime law violations may have legal recourse.
