Disguising Overtime Work
Consider these scenarios:
- An employee works at a warehouse where he is responsible for shipping packages out to various businesses. The employee is paid hourly and does a good job so he is promoted to supervisor. As a supervisor, he is often expected to perform the same tasks as he did before, only now he is paid salary and does not get paid overtime for the extra work he puts in at the company.
- An hourly employee is working at a job that is booming with business. Due to the constant flow of customers, the manager encourages employees to work through breaks or lunches with the promise that they can go home early. Only the promise is never kept.
- An employee is contractually promised compensation for unused vacation hours. At the end of the year, the employee is never paid for the vacation.
These are common examples of wage and hour disputes. If you or someone you know has faced these situations, you may be entitled to compensation for your unpaid overtime, bonuses, missed breaks and more. It is important to contact a qualified employment law attorney who can serve as a strong advocate of your rights.
