Unpaid Wages and Overtime
The law is clear. Under both the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Connecticut Wage Act, if you work more than 40 hours a week, you are entitled to time-and-a-half as overtime compensation. The only exceptions are if you are properly classified as an exempt employee.
​
Employers often try to get around the law. Among other things, employers may try to avoid the payment of overtime compensation by:
-
improperly classifying an employee as “exempt” from the payment of overtime;
-
having employees work “off the clock;”
-
"shaving" time from the employee's time card;
-
paying employees “straight time” for overtime hours worked; or
-
averaging the hours worked over a two week period.
​
