Hertz is an American car rental company that was founded in 1918 by John D. Hertz. Hertz offers car rental and leasing services to customers throughout the United States. Today, the company has over 29,000 employees in 145 countries all over the world. Originally, Hertz was based in Park Ridge, New Jersey. In 2013, Hertz announced that it would be locating their corporate headquarters to Estero in Southwest Florida.
Employees at Hertz often work more than 40 hours per week but do not receive overtime pay. Most car rental employees are entitled to overtime pay under the Fair Labor Standard Act (FLSA). However, many companies, including Hertz, either unlawfully deny overtime wages or simply do not pay them. This can give rise to an overtime pay lawsuit.
For Hertz workers, the FLSA requires employers to pay time-and-a-half for all overtime. In calculating the number of hours worked, the employer must consider all required work performed in all facilities and departments, both before and after a shift, including staff meetings and required paid training. Some states have also enacted overtime laws that regulate the number of hours an employee can work within 24 hours before receiving overtime.
The largest rental car companies in the United States are Enterprise, Hertz, Budget, Avis, Dollar, Thrifty, National, Alamo, Payless, Fox Rent A Car, and Ace Rent a Car. There are other smaller car rental and specialty vehicle rental companies.
If you are an employee at Hertz or are a former employee and did not receive overtime pay, you may have the following questions:

- Who is the best lawyer for a Hertz overtime pay lawsuit?
There are a number of job positions at Hertz. These include managers, assistant mangers, customer service representatives, return agents, sales, mechanics, maintenance, security and transit drivers. Determining whether a particular car rental company employee is entitled to overtime pay is a complex question because a number of factors go into the decision. There are strict time deadlines for filing lawsuits, so it is essential that you contact an attorney immediately.
