What You May Be Entitled To
Unpaid Overtime – Employment Law
If You Worked the Hours, You Deserve the Pay
Millions of workers are entitled to overtime pay—but far too many never receive it. Whether due to misclassification, off-the-clock work, or employer manipulation, unpaid overtime is a serious violation of labor law. At DiSilvio Young, we help employees recover the wages they’ve earned and hold employers accountable for illegal pay practices.
If you suspect you're not being properly paid for your overtime hours, we’re here to help.
What Are Your Overtime Rights?
Common Overtime Violations
Your Right to Take Legal Action
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and state wage laws, non-exempt employees are entitled to:
-
Overtime pay at 1.5 times your regular rate for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek
-
Pay for work performed “off the clock” (before or after scheduled hours)
-
Compensation for time spent on required training, meetings, or job prep
-
Full payment for all hours worked, even if not authorized in advance
Some employees are misclassified as exempt or are paid a salary when they should be earning hourly wages with overtime. Others are simply pressured not to report extra hours.
