WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT WAGE & HOUR CASES
Yes. If you’re an hourly employee, unpaid overtime happens when your employer doesn’t pay you for all the hours you worked beyond the standard 40‑hour workweek (or daily overtime when state law requires it). This may include off‑the‑clock tasks, being told to “finish up” after clocking out, or being classified as exempt even though your job duties qualify you for overtime pay.
No. Labor laws require employers to provide uninterrupted meal and rest breaks. This means you must be fully relieved of all duties and allowed to take your break without pressure, monitoring, or being called back to work. If your employer forces you to work through breaks, shortens them, or discourages you from taking them, that is a potential wage‑and‑hour violation. You may be entitled to compensation for every missed or interrupted break period.
Depending on your situation, you may be able to recover unpaid wages, overtime premiums, missed break penalties, interest, and statutory damages. In some cases, additional penalties apply if your employer knowingly violated labor laws or failed to keep accurate time records. Our legal team can help you evaluate what you’re owed and ensure your full rights are protected.
