Compensation for an unpaid overtime lawsuit can be significant, however each case is different and the amount of compensation an employee receives is dependent on their specific situation with their employer, as well as federal statute and state laws (if the state in which you live has their own specific laws in addition to the federal laws).
First and foremost, if you are working overtime hours and are not receiving pay, you may want to ensure that you are legally entitled to receive overtime wages. Depending on your classification of work, not all employees are eligible to receive overtime rates. However, it is highly recommended that if you are in a situation where you are working overtime and not receiving pay that you consult with an experienced attorney to determine if you are eligible to receive these wages.
Once it is determined that you are, you generally can calculate your unpaid overtime by taking your rate of pay and multiplying it by your determined wage time one and half, or 1.5 times your rate of pay.
Due to the fact that laws are different in every state and determine how much pay you are entitled to can become confusing, especially if you are a salary worker, you should contact a top rated unpaid overtime attorney to discuss and evaluate your case.
