PAYING EMPLOYEES OVERTIME- WHAT THE LAW SAYS?
What does employment law have to say about paying workers overtime? It has been an arduous and long journey that is continuing. Employees expect to get fair pay for the extra time they have worked. That is why employment law firms or attorneys emphasize the importance of wages and overtime. Employees not getting paid for overtime should understand their legal rights and how to retrieve the compensation they deserve.

Wages
and
Overtime You Deserve The Federal Labor Standards Act (FLSA) oversees the laws related to overtime and wage payment. The Wage and Hour Division is accountable for enforcing violations of wage and overtime pay. It is a segment of the Labor Department that can handle all the labor issues and disputes.
States must set their minimum wage laws without violation of FLSA regulations. For instance, workers receiving tips as payment don't need to be paid the federal minimum wage. Currently, federal law states any employee can make at least $30 a month in tips and receive minimum earnings of $2.13 per hour. Overtime must not be equally less than one and a half times the worker's daily pay. An employee getting $20 an hour must get $30 per hour for overtime. Overtime is paid after 40 hours of working per week.
