Pasco County Unpaid Wage & Overtime Lawyer

Sometimes employers want to cut corners and in an effort to keep business costs at bay, they may use illegal tactics to deny their employees rightfully earned wages. Regardless of if you are classified as an exempt or nonexempt worker, you should be paid the wages you were promised, including commissions and overtime pay. If your employer fails to pay you what you are legally entitled to, then this is a violation of both Florida state and federal laws. Our Pasco County Unpaid Wage & Overtime Lawyers at Whittel & Melton can help you recover any wages that you were unfairly denied.

When your employer refuses to pay you for the work you do, they are stealing from you and your family. Most people live paycheck to paycheck and rely upon their hard earned money to feed their families and pay bills. With that said, if you are working and are not being paid at least minimum wage or for all the hours you work, you need to get legal help. If you are working lots of extra hours and not being paid the overtime wage that you are legally entitled to, you need an attorney to help you fight for what is owed to you.

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) was designed to control wages and overtime pay for nonexempt employees. Despite these laws, employers may still disregard them and by doing so subject themselves to the possibility of civil lawsuits as well as criminal charges and fines.

If you are a salaried employee, don’t think that the FLSA does not apply to you. You may be protected under certain provisions. When your employer refuses to pay you the full wages that you were promised, this is unfair, but also illegal, regardless of whether you are a salaried employee or not.

Our Pasco County Unpaid Wage & Overtime Lawyers are ready to help you recover the following compensation stemming from:

• Unpaid overtime
• Paid less than minimum wage
• Not being paid commission
• Not being paid for training
• Not being paid for business travel expenses

Being denied your lawful wages is stressful. Remember, if you employer won’t pay you what you are owed, you have the right to take legal action to get the money you are owed.
