The types of overtime wage claims typically seen by Strauss & Strauss, APC involve:
- Employees misclassified as exempt from overtime;
- Employees paid straight-time for overtime hours;
- Employees paid overtime at the wrong rate;
- Employees forced to clock out after eight hours and continue working; and
- Employees paid on a piece-rate who do not receive proper overtime pay.
Strauss & Strauss, APC sees these types of overtime wage claims on a daily basis. We begin by evaluating your overtime case. We assess your evidence (i.e., timecards, paycheck stubs, personal journals/calendars). We look at the ability of the defendant-employer to pay a judgment or settlement. If we like your case, we usually take it.
Once we take a case for unpaid overtime, we can either attempt to negotiate informally or simply file in the proper venue (civil court or the Labor Commissioner). Sometimes, however, it is necessary to file first, especially if the statute of limitations is running on the overtime wage claim.
Overtime cases usually are straightforward, and they tend to resolve faster than other types of cases. That being said, sometimes we take these cases to trial.
In addition to overtime wage claims, we also represent employees in other types of wage claims, like those for denied meal periods and unreimbursed business expenses.
Examples of our recent wage claims include:
