Unpaid Overtime and Wages

We fight hard to recover the wages that our hard working clients have earned and are owed. You may be entitled to double or even triple your unpaid wages for intentional violations of the law. Please contact us to find out.

The Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) and New York State Law establish minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and child labor standards affecting full-time and part-time workers in the private sector and in Federal, State, and local governments. Covered non-exempt employees are entitled to receive a minimum wage plus overtime compensation at a rate of not less than one and one-half times the regular pay rate for hours worked in excess of 40 hours per work week.

Non-management employees who work more than 40 hours per week are typically entitled to overtime pay pursuant to the FLSA and New York State Law. If you have worked overtime and your employer has failed to properly pay you, you may be entitled not just to your unpaid wages, but to liquidated and punitive damages as well as attorneys’ fees.

Your employer does not determine if you are owed overtime pay, the law does. It does not matter what title your employer may have given you in an attempt to skirt the FLSA and other overtime laws. The work that you perform, not your job title determines whether your employer owes you overtime pay.

We have recovered unpaid wages for our clients against companies ranging from local delis who worked their employees 80 hours per week without overtime pay to large retail shoe stores. We fight to secure the wages that our clients have justly earned through their hard work.

If you believe that your employer or former employer failed to pay you overtime or other wages that you earned please do not hesitate to call us at 212-242-7480 or email us at attorneys@mllassociates.com for a free consultation.
