Are you working from home and not being paid overtime wages?
Our overtime pay lawyers handle cases involving call centers who deny or fail to pay overtime wages to call center employees. These cases often result in substantial settlements due to the large number of employees and the substantial overtime hours that are worked but not compensated by the call center company. In most cases, overtime pay is required for call center employees.
Call center jobs can either be in an office outside the home or in a virtual call center located in the employee’s home. Virtual call centers allow employees to work at home by installing the call centers software on their personal computers. Work at home call center employees are entitled to the same overtime pay regulations as office call center employees.
Work at home call center employees are often required to work more than 40 hours in a single workweek. Many times, employers may fail to pay the appropriate amount of overtime pay to their employees. In these cases, it is important to speak with an experienced attorney who is highly trained to handle these types of overtime pay cases.
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 one-half their regular rate of pay for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Covered employees must be paid for all hours worked in a workweek. In general, “hours worked” includes all time an employee must be on duty, including starting the computer to download work instructions, computer applications, and work related emails.
An experienced overtime pay attorney can determine whether you are entitled to overtime wages based upon your job description, job duties, rate of pay, and number of hours worked. There are strict deadlines for filing lawsuits so it is essential that you contact an attorney immediately.
