A Full Day's Work Deserves a Full Day's Wage

Fair pay in the workplace is the law in Texas. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires covered employers to pay their employees 1 1/2 times their regular rate of pay for each and every hour worked over forty (40) in a work week.

In Texas, it is illegal for an employer to deny you overtime pay if you are a non-exempt employee. However, many employees have been mislead about their right to overtime pay for overtime worked.  In fact, you may be owed overtime pay even if:

• You are paid a salary rather than hourly;

• Your job title is manager or assistant manager, but you do very little true management work;

• You are paid on a piece work basis;

• You don't have detailed records of all the hours you have worked;

• You receive tips.

For various reasons, we are often not able to take on overtime claims on behalf of single employees (as opposed to a group of people who are being paid improperly). However, we are always happy to review your case. If we can’t help immediately, we will do our best to point you in the right direction.
