    We’re proud to fight for our neighbors. Meet the attorneys from your community.

    During the Great Depression, President Franklin Roosevelt and the United States Congress worked in tandem to push through legislation to help Americans address the historic economic malaise. One of the last pieces of legislation to arrive at President Roosevelt’s desk dramatically changed the employer-employee relationship. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which became law in 1938, established a national minimum wage to ensure workers earned a manageable living. Within the same landmark employment law, a provision established the standard for employees to earn overtime wages.

    Eventually, virtually every state expanded the rights enjoyed by American workers under the FLSA. Most states have raised the minimum wage for employees above the current standard of $7.25 an hour. Several states also have broadened the definition of overtime to include minimum hours worked in a workday instead of a workweek. For example, Florida bases overtime pay for manual laborers on a 10-hour workday; any hours worked each day that exceed 10 hours fall under Florida overtime statutes.

    Despite the emphasis on protecting workers from wage abuse, far too many employers bank on the lack of education possessed by workers by continuing to pay substandard wages and refusing to recognize the hours put in that qualify employees for overtime pay. If you believe your employer has violated a state and/or federal wage and hour statute, you should contact one of the best overtime attorneys in West Tampa, Florida. An experienced employment lawyer can help you gather and organize the records you need to prove your employer has violated one or more state and/or federal overtime statutes.

    At Morgan and Morgan, our team of employment law attorneys represents clients that receive substandard wages. We ensure manual laborers receive overtime pay for every hour worked after 10 hours per day, which is commonly done by employees that work manual labor jobs in the citrus industry during the growing season. If you have received overtime wages that fall below the threshold set by Florida and federal law, we take action to ensure you receive the wages that you deserve.
