Overtime Lawyers in Arlington Texas

The Fair Labor Standards Act (occasionally shortened to FLSA) is a section of the federal law code that protects your right as an employee to earn a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work. The rule of thumb is generally that any employee who works more than forty hours in one week must receive “overtime” or premium pay.

However, employers in the Arlington Texas area sometimes intentionally and purposely ignore the federal wage and overtime laws, and continue to keep their employees working long past that forty-hour mark, refusing to provide the legally required overtime compensation to their employees. Workers paid a salary are particularly vulnerable to this lack of compensation, as are other workers that are paid on a “day rate” or other non-hourly based compensation.

Some of the types of overtime law that Herrmann Law handles in the Arlington Texas area include:

Many employers and employees wrongly believe that because an employee receives a salary, or is paid on a “daily rate” system, that the overtime laws – guaranteeing employees overtime compensation after forty hours – no longer applies. 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 Arlington Texas 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 Arlington Texas is that this phrase is used as a catch-all for employees paid by day-rates or salaries and violates federal wage and overtime laws. Often, these employees are not actually “salary exempt” and are therefore being stiffed by their employers for the overtime pay they are entitled. They do not receive the overtime wages that they are rightfully entitled to under the federal wage and overtime laws.

The “salary exempt” qualifications are very complicated and technical in nature, and often rather tricky for a layperson to understand completely. Herrmann Law regularly works with this type of law and litigation in the Arlington Texas area, and wants to make the process easier for you, the employee. We want to see you paid for the hard work you do. Give us a call today to see if you might be missing out on overtime pay, and learn how to claim the back wages owed to you!

Employment Law Issues in Arlington Texas

Often an employee will continue to work in situations where they are not receiving fair compensation for their labor, because they feel their employer will retaliate against them for seeking a lawyer’s help in litigating their overtime, wage, or employment dispute. What many employees in our local Arlington Texas area do not know is that they are protected from that possibility by another set of laws, called anti-retaliation laws.

These laws guarantee that an employee can rightfully seek an employment lawyer’s aid and assistance in determining the extent of their wage, overtime, or other employment-related suit, and their employer cannot legally terminate their contract or employer-employee work relationship for that fact alone.

Other reasons an employee may seek a lawyer include matters dealing with:

  • Employment contracts
  • “Covenant not to compete” clauses, AKA non-compete clauses
  • Family Medical Leave Act disputes
  • Americans with Disabilities Act disputes
  • Wrongful Termination
  • Discrimination
  • And more!

There are so many employees who do not seek out the knowledge and counsel a well-informed, experienced employment lawyer. A law firm like Herrmann Law can provide the expertise you need in employment law and labor law cases like these.
