Employers looking to maintain labor costs may pay a salary for a non-exempt worker whose job entitles him or her to hourly pay and overtime. The state and federal laws are complex and require the help of an experienced attorney focused on his clients' rights and best interests.
At The Law Office of Holiday Hunt Russell, we are:
- Confident in our ability to deliver client-oriented results
- Creative in our problem-solving
- Committed to client loyalty
- Compassionate, yet tenacious
The Fair Labor Standards Act and the Florida Wages Act ensure not only a minimum wage, but also protection for hardworking Florida residents misclassified by their employers as exempt (salary) when their daily duties fall under the non-exempt (hourly) category. Some work-related tasks may fall under both categories. However, if 25 percent of the job involves a non-exempt activity, an employee may be entitled to overtime.
Hollywood and Fort Lauderdale Unpaid Overtime Attorney
Founder Holiday Russell combines hands-on experience and knowledge of both state and federal employment laws with compassion and commitment to securing the best outcome. He conducts an in-depth investigation of employer records. The Portal-to-Portal Pay Act requires them to document pay rates and hours worked.
In many wage and hour cases we have handled, misclassifying exempt employees occurred. Under federal law, newly non-exempt employees' overtime pay doubled under federal law and punitive damages against the employer were assessed under state law.
