Common Questions About Wage & Hour Disputes
General information only — not legal advice.
What is employee misclassification?
Incorrectly classifying a worker as an independent contractor or exempt from overtime, causing the worker to miss out on overtime pay, benefits, and protections. The IRS and DOL use multi-factor tests to determine proper classification.
Am I entitled to overtime pay?
Non-exempt employees must receive 1.5x pay for hours over 40 per week under the FLSA. Exemption depends on salary level and job duties. Some states have additional rules including daily overtime thresholds.
Can I recover unpaid wages from years ago?
The FLSA allows recovery of up to 2 years of unpaid wages (3 years for willful violations). State laws may allow longer recovery periods. An attorney can advise on which deadlines apply to your situation.
