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.

Follow the steps below to get an approximate value of your overtime case, assuming you are not otherwise exempt.

STEP #1: Enter the total number of weeks that you were employed (only consider those weeks in which you worked more than 40 hours).

STEP #2: Enter your hourly rate. If you were paid a salary, divide your total salary by the number of hours that you understood the salary would cover. This number is your hourly rate. (For example, if your salary was $400 per week, and it was intended to cover 40 hours, then your hourly rate is $10/hr.)

STEP #3: Enter the number of overtime hours you worked each week. (For example, if you worked 50 hours, then you worked 10 hours of overtime).

STEP #4: Did you receive:

	I received straight time (my hourly rate) for all hours that I worked.
	I received the same salary, regardless of the number of hours that I worked.
	I was paid hourly up to 40 hours per week and received no additional pay if I worked more than 40 hours.
