If you worked more than forty hours a week and were not paid overtime wages, you may be entitled to file an unpaid overtime lawsuit against your past or present employer. There are strict time deadlines for filing overtime wage claims. If you miss a deadline your claim may be lost forever.
Common questions to our overtime lawyers about case filing deadlines include:
How much time do I have to file an unpaid overtime claim?
What is the statute of limitations for filing an overtime pay lawsuit?
How far back can I claim back wages in an unpaid overtime lawsuit?
Are there deadlines for bringing a claim for back overtime pay?
Under federal law, you generally two years to file your lawsuit for unpaid overtime pay. This can often be extended for an additional year, or three years total if your employer “knew” that its wage practice were in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), but nonetheless “disregarded” these requirements. Many states have individual deadlines so you need to discuss your case with an experienced employment law attorney to make sure you are timely filing your case.
