Wage and Hour - Overtime
If You Are an Employee Being Forced to Work Off-the-Clock or Denied Pay for Overtime, You May Be Entitled to Compensation under the Wage and Hour Laws
Wage and hour law claims attorney, Barry R. Grissom, represents clients throughout Kansas, Missouri and nationwide, who are not fully compensated for their work, especially overtime violations.
Many wage and hour violations involve overtime compensation or employers who violate state and federal laws regarding paying overtime by either wrongly classifying employees as independent contractors or exempt employees, or forcing or coercing employees into working hours they don't claim such as working from home or working off-the-clock.
You deserve compensation for all of the work you completed, whether your employer knows they are violating a state or federal overtime-wage and hour law or not. Not everyone is entitled to overtime for working in excess of 40 hours per week, therefore we are providing you with some guidelines regarding whether you qualify for overtime and whether you are an independent contractor to assist in determining whether or not you may have a wage and hour claim under the FSLA or state wage and hour laws. The information is just a guideline to assist you in determining if you may have a claim. We strongly suggest you contact an experienced wage and overtime claims attorney to discuss the merits of any claim you believe you may have for a wage and hour or overtime violation.
