Although some people believe that you have to be a citizen of the United States to file a claim for overtime or minimum wages under the Fair Labor Standards Act, this is not necessarily true. For example, the law in Florida provides that even if an individual is not a citizen of the United States, he or she is still entitled to pursue a claim for unpaid overtime or minimum wage compensation under the FLSA. Other states have similar laws as well to protect persons who are not necessarily citizens.
Hiring an attorney experienced with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is the first step in protecting your overtime rights.
The Fair Labor Standars Act or the FLSA defines work as time spent performing job related activies which benefit your employer.
An employer can not manipulate the work week to avoid paying overtime. However, it is legal for your employer to adjust your work shift during a work week to avoid having you work overtime.
