Overtime Law Disputes in Waco

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 Waco 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. Workers on salary are particularly vulnerable to this lack of compensation, as are other workers that are paid on a “day rate.”

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

• Overtime Law under the Fair Labor Standards Act
• Salary-Exemptions
• Illegal Deductions
• And more….

Many employers and employees wrongly believe that because an employee receives 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 Arlington and otheMany employers and employees wrongly believe that because an employee receives 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 Waco 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 Waco 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 Waco 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. 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 Waco

If you feel you are owed back wages or are not being paid for overtime you have completed, there is no reason why you cannot give us a call at Herrmann Law. We can help you find out the truth!

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 Waco area do not know is that they are protected from that possibility by another set of laws, called the anti-retaliation protections.

These laws guarantee that an employee can rightfully seek a 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.
