When Your Employer Keeps Pay You Earned
Working extra hours should not mean giving your employer free labor. Yet some employees are denied overtime through improper classifications, off-the-clock work, altered time records, unpaid pre- or post-shift duties, or other wage practices. In St. Petersburg, even relatively small amounts of unpaid time can accumulate into substantial lost wages when violations continue week after week.
Overtime disputes often depend on payroll records, schedules, timekeeping systems, job duties, compensation plans, and the way work was actually performed. An employer’s job title or classification does not necessarily determine whether a worker is legally entitled to overtime.
Contact Morgan & Morgan for a free case evaluation if you believe you were denied overtime wages in St. Petersburg. Our attorneys are prepared to review your employment circumstances and help you pursue the pay you earned.

How Our St. Petersburg Attorneys Can Help You File a Successful Claim
Our experienced workers’ compensation attorneys can assist you with each of the following steps to help you recover benefits.
Initial Report: Under Florida law, injured workers are required to report their [on-the-job injuries]/faq/workers-compensation/ to their employers within 30 days of the accident. Our attorneys can help ensure your employer reports your injury to their insurer within 7 days, as required by law.
Medical Evaluation: Your attorney will ensure you undergo an evaluation by a physician of your employer’s choice. Following this evaluation, your attorney may have you undergo a second evaluation performed by a physician of your choice.
Your Benefits Claim: Your attorney will help you to:
- Provide details of your accident (e.g. time, location, weather conditions, and the job being performed)
- Collect witness statements to support your claim
- Analyze medical evaluations for any discrepancies
- Estimate the duration of your injury and its impact on your ability to work in the future
- Construct a claim that best represents why you should receive benefits, and
- Submit your claim to your employer’s insurance company for review.
Evaluation: Your employer’s insurance company will review your claim and determine—based on the severity and expected duration of your injury and your ability to perform your job in the future—the benefits you are entitled to receive.
Appeal: After you receive notice of the benefits you have been awarded, your attorney will help you review the insurer’s decision. If your attorney believes your claim was undervalued, he or she can try to negotiate with the company. If negotiations are unsuccessful, the decision can be appealed to higher authorities.
If you were injured on the job, you may be entitled to collect workers’ compensation benefits.
