After you receive your back compensation, the employer pays our fees.

It is happening everyday, in businesses all over America. Employers avoid paying overtime by giving a good, loyal worker a title, then listing the position as exempt from federal wage and hour law. The worker does basically the same job, but for longer hours, and essentially less pay. It's not the way Federal Labor Standard Act (FLSA) regulations are supposed to be applied.

At the employment law office of the Billhorn Law Firm, we help salaried workers fight back against employers who inappropriately put them on salary and expect longer hours with no overtime compensation. Attorney John Billhorn has 20 years of experience helping workers recover the compensation they are entitled to for working overtime or completing additional projects outside of their normal job expectations.

To discuss your grievance about your inappropriate salary status, contact the employment law firm of the Billhorn Law Firm for a no-cost consultation. We'll help you stand up for your rights and receive the compensation you have earned.

The law is clear about the job responsibilities of an exempt employee, including budget management and executive authority. Hire a lawyer who knows how the FLSA is meant to be applied. If you have been placed on salary, your company may think it is exempt from paying you overtime pay. But if you have the title, without the responsibilities or authority, your employer may be breaking FLSA overtime law.

Wage and Hour Law:

• Inappropriate placement on salary status
• Salaried worker overtime compensation violations
• Exempt status pay violations
• Pre- and post-shift work violations
