Every worker in Florida is important and deserves to be fairly compensated for their work. However, sometimes employers fail to properly compensate their employees.

If your employer has not compensated you for your overtime work, an overtime wage lawyer can help you secure your rightful compensation.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW…
The workweek stands alone. Each workweek must be a fixed and regularly recurring period of seven consecutive 24-hour periods. Thus, an employer may not select any 7 days, nor combine 14 days to lump the time together.
Commissions and bonuses matter. Overtime rates must be based upon the regular rate for that week to include all commissions and bonuses earned or attributed to that workweek.
Late overtime payments mean employer penalties. If employers can’t calculate overtime wages until a later time, as is sometimes the case with commissions, employers must make good on the overtime pay as soon as possible or face a penalty, often resulting in greater pay for the employee.
EMPLOYEES KNOW WHEN THEY’VE BEEN SHORTED
Feldman Legal Group Can Help
If you believe that you are owed overtime pay, reach out to an unpaid overtime lawyer at Feldman Legal Group to learn about your options. For over 20 years, we have been helping workers get the payment they deserve. Contact us today.
Under the FLSA and Florida’s Minimum Wage Act, your employer is required to maintain accurate and contemporaneous records of all time employees spend performing compensable work activities. If any employer fails to keep accurate time records, an overtime wage violation could have occurred. The employee may be awarded all reasonable estimates of the hours worked simply from a good faith estimate of the time the employee worked over the past two to three years for that employer. Our skilled Florida lawyers help employees recover the overtime wages they are due.
How Your Estimate Works
If there is off-the-clock work or you were treated as salaried and exempt and your employer did not track or record your work hours, then your good faith estimate is sufficient. It will establish the hours of overtime pay to be awarded by a court or a jury.
How Calculation Of Overtime Rates Works
Depending on the payment structure of your regular wages or salary, the calculation of your overtime rate of pay may differ. Here are some common pay examples:
- DAY RATE PAY, OR DAY RATE + SALARY BASIS
- EMPLOYEES PAID BY THE HOUR
- EMPLOYEES PAID ON A PIECEWORK BASIS
- EMPLOYEES PAID A SALARY FOR A REGULAR OR SPECIFIED NUMBER OF HOURS
- OVERTIME PAY MAY NOT BE WAIVED
- FLUCTUATING WORKWEEK
