PROTECTING YOUR RIGHTS
Regardless of whether you are a salaried or an hourly employee, your employer is not allowed to violate existing employment laws by illegally denying you overtime compensation. Employers must properly pay their staff for the time they spend during certain pre and postshift activities, training and drug testing. In addition, employees have certain entitlements that relate to lunch breaks and properly calculated wages. Your employer can't cheat you out of your wages and our law firm will work hard to protect your interests.


WORKERS ARE PROTECTED
The Federal Fair Labor Standards Act, ("FLSA"), is not a Louisiana overtime law, it is a federal law that requires employers to pay overtime wages for work in excess of 40 hours per workweek, subject to some specific exemptions. Overtime wages are usually paid at one and one-half times the regular pay rate. An employee's workweek is a fixed seven day period that may be set by the employer. This means that any overtime worked in a particular workweek must be paid on the pay day covering the same pay period in which the overtime hours were worked.

KNOW YOUR STATUS
You may have heard your job referred to as an "exempt" or "non-exempt" position. A Louisiana job classified as "non-exempt," is one that is eligible to receive overtime compensation. A job classified as "exempt" is one that is not entitled to overtime compensation. You cannot determine whether a job is "exempt" or "non-exempt" by examining the job title alone. Determining whether a job is "exempt" or "non-exempt," requires an careful analysis of your job duties and pay structure by one of our Louisiana Attorneys. Importantly, you are not exempt just because you are "salaried" or because your employer says that you are. Only if you meet a 2 part test for an exempt employee can you be denied overtime pay. Call one of our Louisiana Overtime Attorneys today and we will be happy to analyze your case.
