TOUGH ECONOMIC TIMES MEANS LESS OVERTIME PAY
Houston - A nationwide investigation is underway on behalf of employees whose employers fail to pay Overtime wages for hours worked in excess of 40 hours per week or force employees to work “Off the Clock” or during lunch or breaks.
The current state of the economy has led many companies to cut costs and, unfortunately, an all too often victim of cost cutting measures are employee Overtime and “Off the Clock” Wages. American workers, however, are protected against unscrupulous employers under the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act, also known as the FLSA.
Current or former employees who do not receive Overtime Wages at the federally mandated time and one half rate or work “Off the Clock” should immediately contact Levin Law, a Class Action Labor Law Firm, at toll free 1800-467-4000 or on the web at www.law29.com for immediate information regarding their legal rights and options.
Current Overtime and “Off the Clock” Wage investigations include:
• Inside Sales Representatives
• Customer Service and Call Center Representatives
• Loan Underwriters and Loan Processors
• Processing Plant, Meat Packing and Factory Workers
• Pipeline Inspectors
• Top Drive Technicians
• Benefit Analysts and Claims Analysts
• Managers who worked Overtime during Training
• Assistant Managers in Retail Stores
It is illegal for employers to fire workers for making overtime claims. Under federal law the employer can be punished with criminal penalties. In fact the Fair Labor Standards Act prohibits employers from retaliating against any current or former employee who elects to participate in any proceeding asserting their rights provided under the law.
