Unpaid overtime is the most pressing need facing New York City Laborers

• Laborers are paid an hourly wage. Our New York City labor attorneys have been at the forefront of taking on the unpaid overtime epidemic that has plagued out state. By law, you are entitled to overtime wages whenever you work more than 40 hours in any seven day period. Most people are not aware that you are entitled to overtime even if those 40 hours were not worked in the same calendar week. We have found that laborers are particularly susceptible to this issue because they are often required to work erratic hours based on differing needs of jobs. Other reasons why laborers are victims of unpaid overtime include:

• Unpaid training time

• Misclassifying employees as a managerial employee

• Not getting paid for over budget work

• Docking time for mistakes

• Unpaid meetings

• Unpaid tasks before or after work

• Hours worked on call

• Working during lunch breaks
