Unpaid Overtime and Minimum Wages

Citron Law Firm handles claims for employees against employers for failure to pay overtime and minimum wages. As Fort Lauderdale overtime lawyers, the firm is dedicated to aggressively fighting for the rights of employees to ensure they receive the wages they are entitled to under both Federal and Florida law. Many employees have legal recourse against an employer that has withheld wages and benefits through the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). FLSA generally provides that employers pay employees at the rate of time and a half their regular hourly rate of compensation when those employees work more than forty hours a week. It is a common premise that employers fail to pay employees their appropriate wages, especially calculating their overtime wages correctly, and receive “free labor.” Many employers also believe that paying employees a salary relieves them from the obligations to pay their employees overtime under FLSA. Many times, this is false and just a means for an employer to relieve himself/herself from having to full compensate an employee including the payment of overtime wages. For those who have not received the correct wages from their employer, FLSA mandates that a recovery be in the form of “double damages” which essentially doubles the amount of wages that an underpaid employee should have received from their employer.
