After you receive your back compensation, the employer is responsible to pay our fees.

It is happening everyday, in businesses all over America. Employers avoid paying overtime by giving a good, loyal worker a title and then classifying the position as exempt from federal wage and hour laws.  Many times, the details of the exemption are not part of the actual job duties, and the employee is required to work many hours over 40 in a week without overtime pay. 

At the employment law office of the Billhorn Law Firm, we help salaried workers fight back against employers who inappropriately classify them as exempt employees and expect longer hours with no overtime compensation. Attorney John Billhorn has 22 years of experience helping workers recover back overtime for inproperly salaried workers. 

To discuss your 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 required job responsibilities of an exempt employeen under the three "White Collar Exemptions" availible:  the adminstrative exemption, the professional exemption and the executive exemptions.  Each of these exemptions have very specific job duty requirements, and a simple fancey "title" does not the exemption legal.  As a general rule, if you have a big title without supervisory authority and independent discretion for major business decisions and work long hours over 40 in a week, 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
