Overtime Wage Claims Miami, FL
The FairLaw Firm assists workers in recovering the overtime pay they earned, plus penalties and attorneys’ fees, under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Working overtime and getting overtime pay is no technicality. Employees who work overtime go above and beyond by working more than the regular 40 hour workweek. They sacrifice their personal and family life for their employers. When an employer does not properly pay its workers for all of the overtime worked, the FairLaw Firm <https://www.fairlawattorney.com/> can help.
Many workers are entitled to receive overtime pay calculated at one and one-half times their regular rate of pay, but there exceptions that may disqualify an employer from having to pay overtime or an employee from receiving overtime.
Overtime Violations: Know Your Employment Rights
Some overtime violations are obvious - such as when an employee is paid at the regular hourly rate for working more than 40 hours in a workweek (7 consecutive days). Another obvious violation occurs when an employer does not pay overtime because it has misclassified <https://www.fairlawattorney.com/misclassification/> its employees as independent contractors. Other overtime violations occur when an employee is paid a salary but works overtime without extra pay. Another way that employers violate the law is when they fail to pay for all hours worked by either automatically deducting a lunch or meal break when an employee does not take a break, when an employer clocks its employees out while they keep working, or when an employer improperly considers an employee exempt as a management staff.
Overtime violations can result in damages that range from minimal to very substantial. An employee's damages are based on the length of time worked for an employer in the last two to three years, the hours worked each week, and the rate of pay. Plus, an employee is entitled to recover all attorneys' fees and costs incurred upon winning the case. Unless an employer can prove that it had a good reason for not paying overtime wages, it also will be responsible for paying a penalty amount equal to the unpaid wages (double damages).
The FairLaw Firm <https://www.fairlawattorney.com/> is familiar with how employers cheat their employees out of the overtime pay they earned and offers a free initial consultation and handles most cases on contingency, so contact us <https://www.fairlawattorney.com/2014/fairlaw-firm-teams-up-for-collective-action-lawsuit/> now.

I am very happy to have found Brian H. Pollock to help me when I needed help getting paid my final paycheck. His staff was friendly, informative and kept me up to date during the whole process. Brian met with me in person and listened to my needs and helped me get the results I wanted. Him and his staff are very professional and just down right good people. I recommend FairLaw Firm to anyone who needs help getting unpaid wages back. They will definitely help you out!
Inmejorable experiencia, dado a un conflicto laboral que tenia, y que ningun otro abogado o bufete queria aceptar mi caso dado a que para ellos no era una gran cuantia. Desde de mi llamada para exponer mi caso y ver si me lo aceptaban, sus asistente Jissel y Cynthia, prestaron atencion y se interezaron por agendarme una cita lo mas pronto posible, para hablar con el Dr. Pollock. Al hablar con el Dr Pollock, y contarle la situacion se interezo por mi caso y me mostro un panorama positivo frente a este, caso contrario que otros bufetes de abogados no ofrecian ni se interesaban, grata experiencia, calidez y por supuesto EFECTIVIDAD. Solo me resta por recomendar y agradecer al Dr Pollock y a todo el equipo FairLaw Firm, mi gratitud hacia ellos.

Ante de elegir mi abogado he visto algunas otra opciones, pero cuando me senté en frente a ellos y le explique mi caso me sentí inmediatamente asesorado. Me explicaron lo q iban a hacer por mi y las varias opciones, fue todo claro y todo se resolvió rapidamente. Mención especial para Giselle, una mujer muy amable y professional. Lo recomiendo a todos.

Over the past two decades, I have had the privilege of working with the finest attorneys in the fields of litigation, maritime, aviation, tax, and IP law. Mr. Pollock is up there with the best of them. When it comes to knowledge of employment law, legal procedure, strategic planning and overall execution, he is second to none. He is a no nonsense lawyer with a brilliant legal mind and a terrific support staff around him.
