Unpaid Overtime Attorneys in New York Recover Damages for Disadvantaged Employees

Results-driven attorneys recovering compensation nationwide for unpaid overtime wages

If your employer has not paid you overtime wages, you may be entitled to back pay as well as to additional significant damages, if you regularly spend more than 40 hours each week on the job. At the law firm of Hepworth, Gershbaum & Roth, PLLC, our attorneys work tirelessly to hold businesses accountable for their Fair Labor Standards Act violations.

What are the most common unpaid overtime violations employers make to avoid fully paying their employees?

Both New York and federal law make it illegal to not pay an employee time and a half for working more than 40 hours in any week. That does not stop businesses from trying to find loopholes to get around paying wages to the employees for their hard work. Our team of New York overtime claim lawyers aggressively litigates against companies that try to take advantage of the people that make their business a success. Some of the most common ways business owners leave employees with unpaid overtime include:

• Misclassifying the job as a position that is exempt from overtime

• Making employees work off the clock

• Giving comp time instead of overtime

• Non-payment for workdays that last more than 10 hours (in some states)

• Averaging out the hours worked over a two week pay period

• Non-payment for work done at home, short daytime breaks of on-call time
