Cantrell Schuette attorneys have the experience and expertise to challenge employers who misclassify their employees and owe them premium overtime pay. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (the federal employee pay protection statute), all employees must be paid time-and-a-half overtime pay for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek, unless they meet one of the specified exemptions. Many employees who receive salaries have been misclassified as exempt by their employers and are legally entitled to overtime pay. Cantrell Schuette has the experience and ability to assess whether an employee fits within one of the narrowly defined exemptions and to analyze both the law and particular job responsibilities.
