Technical Writers Who Were Denied Overtime Pay May Be Entitled to Back Wages

The overtime lawyers working with IQOvertime.com are available to review unpaid overtime claims from technical writers who regularly work more than 40 hours per week and have been denied overtime pay. Unless specifically exempt from overtime law, technical writers should receive 1.5 times their regular pay rate for every hour worked over 40 in a single workweek. If you have been denied overtime pay as a technical writer, visit http://www.iqovertime.com/technical-writers-unpaid-overtime--41224.html to find out if you are eligible to recover back wages. 

Overtime violations can occur in any field, and technical writers are not immune from these illegal wage and hour practices. In fact, in 2006, 152 technical writers filed an unpaid overtime claim against their employer, Sun Microsystems, challenging their status as exempt from California overtime requirements. The overtime case alleged that the company allowed or coerced its technical writers to work more than 40 hours a week without overtime pay. In 2010, the unpaid overtime case was settled for $5 million, awarding approximately $20,000 to the average class member.
