If you quit your job or you got fired and did not get paid for your final weeks of work, that is a clear violation of the FLSA minimum wage requirement. A failure to receive pay for hours worked prior to resignation or termination means that the employee's average hourly wage for that period is zero dollars and zero cents per hour--well below the current minimum wage. With the help of one of our wage and hour attorneys, the employee can either send a demand letter or file a FLSA lawsuit to recover their unpaid minimum wages.
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.
