Overtime Lawyers in Dallas

The Fair Labor Standards Act (occasionally shortened to FLSA) is a section of the federal law that protects an employee’s right to earn a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work. Under the FLSA, employees in Dallas are generally entitled to overtime pay after working more than forty (40) hours in one week. This general rule may apply to employees even if the employee is paid a salary, day rate, or other compensation structure that is not reliant upon the forty (40) hour workweek.

However, employers in the Dallas area sometimes intentionally and purposely ignore this rule of thumb, and continue to keep their employees working long past that forty-hour mark, refusing to provide compensation to those employees at a premium rate. Dallas Employees paid on a salary-basis are particularly vulnerable to this lack of compensation, as are other workers that are paid on a “day rate.”

Herrmann Law handles various overtime cases in Dallas including:

Many employers and employees wrongly believe that because an employer pays an employee a salary, or is paid on a “daily rate” system, that the forty-hour mark no longer applies to their work. This leads to the incorrect assumption that overtime is not owed to someone on a salaried pay-schedule, or a day-rate payment system. Employers in Dallas and other areas often incorrectly call this status, and the employees they hire under these terms, as “salary exempt.”

The problem with the use of the phrase “salary exempt” in Dallas is that this phrase is used as a catch-all for employees paid by day-rates or salaries. Often, these employees are not actually “salary exempt” and are therefore being stiffed by their employers for work they have done. They do not receive the overtime wages that they are rightfully owed.

The “salary exempt” qualifications are very complicated and technical in nature, and often rather tricky for a layperson to understand completely. Herrmann Law in Dallas regularly works with this type of law and litigation, and wants to make the process easier for you, the employee. We want to see you paid for the hard work you do.
