Helping Businesses With All Types Of Wage Disputes
Florida businesses are subject to a wide range of rules when it comes to wage and hour matters. This includes the FLSA, along with various state and local regulations. Allegations of failing to comply with these rules can lead to complicated legal battles with employees. Some common areas where disputes arise include:
- Minimum wage requirements
- Overtime pay
- Unpaid wages
- Bonuses and commissions
- Employee misclassification
- Tip allocation
- Meal periods and breaks
- Off-the-clock work
When your business is in the midst of any wage dispute, our team stands ready to offer knowledgeable guidance and strong advocacy.
Understanding Overtime Pay Rules
Overtime disputes are a common challenge for employers. According to the FLSA and Florida law:
- Employees must receive overtime pay for any work beyond 40 hours per week
- Overtime pay must be at least 1.5 times the regular rate
Calculating overtime pay can become complicated when employees receive bonuses or commissions, or are on a salary. If your company is accused of miscalculating overtime or other overtime violations, our lawyers can explain your options and defend your business.
Overtime Exemptions Under The FLSA
Not all workers are covered by FLSA overtime rules. Exemptions apply to certain employees, such as:
- Executives, administrators and professionals
- Seasonal workers
- Railroad workers
- Movie theater employees
Also, FLSA rules generally do not apply to independent contractors. Our knowledgeable team can guide you on the nuanced aspects of these exceptions. We can also help your business fight any accusations of employee misclassification.
