Fort Lauderdale Unpaid Wage & Overtime Lawyer

Proudly Serving All of Broward County

Overtime pay can be quite the controversial topic for employers. While employers are required to pay hourly employees overtime wages, and sometimes even salaried employees, many bosses choose to ignore these obligations. If you worked over 40 hours in a single work week, then you should be given overtime. If you have acquired over time, but were not paid time and a half for any hours worked over 40, our Broward County Employment Lawyers at Whittel & Melton can assist you. Call us today at 561-367-8777 or contact us online.
