Do You Know Your Overtime Pay and FLSA Legal Rights

While we hope to help people find jobs working from home, we realize not everyone has the chance and therefore has to work outside the home. If you are one of these people, do you know the laws on overtime for the geographical area in which you work? Many people do not, yet they continue to work the overtime because they need to or because they are told it is 'mandatory' - however, is it REALLY mandatory?

The fact of the matter is, the state and federal laws (the Fair Labor Standards Act or FLSA) that govern an employee’s right to overtime pay are complex and often confusing. Along with the confusion, new overtime pay rules and regulations have gone into effect. Make sure you get all your questions answered and find out how you can recover the unpaid overtime pay that you are rightfully owed.

I hear stories all the time from people about how they worked so many hours of overtime, yet their paycheck doesn't reflect the correct amount. How is this possible? Is there something shady going on?  The real problem is that they do not realize they have a legal right to know the answers to these questions AND get the money they worked hard to earn.
