Were You Paid For Your OVERTIME?

Did you get paid for the OVERTIME YOU WORKED?


Our Florida Private Investigators had the opportunity to assist with computer forensics to prove that employers were violating The Fair Labor Standards Act. This commonly known as the “FLSA,” and it requires covered employers to pay their employees time and one-half their regular rate of pay for each and every hour worked over Forty (40) in a work week. For employees whose normal pay is not based upon an “hourly” rate, their regular rate requires calculating all of their compensation into an hourly rate. Certain incentives, such as commissions and non-discretionary bonuses, may also need to be considered when calculating the overtime rate. While most private employers may not substitute “comp time” for overtime wages an employee has earned, and therefore these employees should be paid, some government employers are permitted to provide their employees with time off benefits instead of paying overtime wages.



Regardless of whether employees receive their wages through a salary, an hourly rate, a draw, a production rate (a piece rate), or commissions , or even a combination of these or other types of pay, the FLSA requires covered employers to pay overtime wages for each and every hour worked over Forty (40) in a work week.
