Fair Labor Standards Act Claims

Fair Labor Standards Act cases fall into two main types of Fair Labor Standards Act Claims including misclassification cases and off-the-clock cases. These FLSA claims usually involve a large employer taking money out of the pockets of a large number of employees. The types of employees that have recently filed Fair Labor Standards Act claims include computer professionals, brokers, funeral directors, mortgage consultants, store managers, coffee shop managers, insurance adjusters, assembly line workers, oil field workers, construction workers, restaurant managers, and health care workers.

Misclassification Fair Labor Standards Act Claims (Failure to Pay Overtime Claims)

Misclassification Fair Labor Standards Act Claim cases involve employees who are treated as exempt from overtime pay and who are not paid overtime. Usually these employees are paid a fixed salary for all of their hours worked, but sometimes they might be paid commissions, by the job, or by the piece. The most common exemptions are what are called the White Collar Exemptions that misclassify administrative and executive employees. In misclassified White Collar Exemption cases including administrative and executive employees such as low level managers and adjusters, the burden of proof on the exemption issue is on the employer (not the plaintiff/employee) at trial. These cases are common in the financial services industry (e.g. loan officers, insurance adjusters, stock brokers, etc.). Other common Fair Labor Standards Act Claims include violations that occur in the health care recruiting industry, where large employers attempt to avoid paying overtime by misclassifying health care workers.

Off-the-Clock Fair Labor Standards Act Claims (Failure to Pay for Work Done Claims)

Off-the-clock cases involve non-exempt (usually hourly paid) employees who are required or permitted by their employer to do work that benefits the employer, but for which the time is not captured and for which the employees are not paid. Common examples of this would be employees coming in before their scheduled shift start time, working during an unpaid lunch break, or staying after their scheduled shift end time. In other words, employees that doing work for which they are not paid. Off-the-clock cases usually involve relatively small amounts of time spent each day working off the clock (e.g. 15-20 minutes), but the damages add up when you have a large workforce and the non compensated work occurs over a long period of time. Common examples of these cases are in industrial or production environments where employers have large workforces and the employer requires preparatory work that is not compensated. Companies operating large call centers are often also frequent violators of the off-the-clock Fair Labor Standards Act.
