Benefits Analysts Who Were Denied Overtime Pay May Be Able To Recover Back Wages

The overtime lawyers working with IQOvertime.com are available to review unpaid overtime claims from benefits analysts who regularly work more than 40 hours per week and have been denied overtime pay. Benefits analysts who do not meet one of the federal overtime exemptions, which are typically reserved for professional, administrative and executive employees, should receive 1.5 times their regular rate of pay for every hour worked in excess of 40 during a single workweek. If you have been denied overtime pay as a benefits analyst, visit http://www.iqovertime.com/benefits-analysts-unpaid-overtime--41133.html to find out if you are eligible to recover back pay. 

Overtime violations can affect workers in any industry, and benefits analysts are not immune from these illegal wage and hour practices. In 2008, Illinois-based human resources firm Hewitt Associates Inc. agreed to pay nearly $5 million to settle a class action overtime lawsuit which was filed on behalf of 1,100 benefits analysts. The unpaid overtime lawsuit alleged that the human resources consulting firm misclassified its benefits analysts, who were responsible for data processing and customer service, as exempt from federal and state overtime laws and did not pay time-and-a-half compensation for hours worked in excess of 40 per week. 

Benefits analysts who have been denied overtime pay may be able to participate in an unpaid overtime lawsuit to recover up to three years of back pay, as well as an equal amount in liquidated damages and attorneys’ fees.
