Yes, VA hospital nurses can file an unpaid overtime lawsuit for time spent working beyond 40 hours per week. Va nurses often are very busy with numerous different tasks, and sometimes are even required to continue their work at home. For these reasons, extra time is often required to complete certain tasks.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage & Hour Division, covered nonexempt employees are entitled to be paid at least federal minimum wage as well as overtime at time and one half their regular rate of pay for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek.
