Connecticut Unpaid Overtime Attorneys
Federal and state laws protect the rights of Connecticut workers. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is a federal law that protects the rights of nonexempt employees to be paid for overtime work. Connecticut state law also protects this right. Both federal and state wage and hour laws provide additional protections to workers, including the right to reasonable meal and rest breaks.
Unfortunately, many employees do not know their rights. To make things worse, many employers erroneously classify employees as exempt who should be classified as nonexempt.
Connecticut workers who are nonexempt have a right to be paid one and one-half their regular pay rate for overtime hours worked. You employer may have mistakenly or intentionally classified you as an exempt worker when you are actually a nonexempt worker by law. Connecticut employers may be responsible for double damages and attorney's fees if they fail to pay a worker's wages in bad faith.
