Yes, your employer may have to pay you overtime for required volunteer hours. According to the FLSA, volunteer hours are allowed to be covered provided the work performed by the volunteer does not displace or replace work that is regularly subject to being for by an employer. However, the state laws in which you work may complicate the issue. Because of this, it is best to consult an experienced attorney who can advise you on your rights.
At our award winning law firm, our experienced unpaid overtime pay lawyers will provide you with a free, no obligation case review to determine if you have a valid unpaid claim for overtime volunteer hours worked. We will also represent you on a “No Win, No Fee” contingency basis, which means that you pay absolutely no legal fees or expenses unless we win a settlement for you. Call us today at (855) 754-2795.
