Florida Overtime Law Roberts S. Norell, P.A. Wage Law Expert

Federal law requires employers to pay employees time and a half for all hours worked over 40 hours per week, unless you fall within an exemption. If your employer has violated federal law, the employer may be required to pay you your past unpaid overtime, interest, an additional amount equal to the unpaid overtime, plus costs and attorney fees.

To help wronged employees recover unpaid wages owed to them by employers in the form of illegally withheld overtime or any other wages owed by your employer, past or present. You've worked hard and you deserve to get paid for your efforts. Through my efforts, I aim to retrieve your unpaid wages with efficiency and effectiveness.
