There are federal and state laws which govern the payment of overtime wages. There are significant differences between the two. For example, in the State of Illinois, an employee can still collect overtime pay up to three years after the overtime violation. Federal law provides that an employee can collect up to two years after and up to three years if it is found the employer knowingly and intentionally violated federal overtime laws.
Both state and federal overtime laws are complicated. If you are not being paid overtime, regardless of whether you are paid hourly or salary, contact our office today at 800-437-2571 and speak with an experienced FLSA attorney who can determine whether you are entitled to overtime pay.
