At home call center employees must be paid overtime for working beyond 40 hours per week. Although many at home call center employees are told by management that they are not entitled to overtime pay for work performed before the start or after the end of a shift, this is untrue. In fact, it is a clear violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage & Hour Division, covered nonexempt employees are entitled to be paid at least the 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. This includes employees who work at call centers or out of their own home.
Our experienced at home call center overtime pay attorneys can determine whether you are entitled to overtime wages based upon your job description, job duties, rate of pay, and number of hours worked. You are entitled to these wages against your current employer or past call center employer. There are strict time deadlines for filing lawsuits so it is essential that you contact an attorney immediately.
