Hourly Hospital Employees Who Were Denied Overtime Pay May Be Able to Participate in Unpaid Overtime Lawsuits

The overtime lawyers working with IQOvertime.com are available to review claims from hospital employees who are paid on an hourly basis and have been denied overtime pay. In general, hourly hospital workers are entitled to 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 an hourly hospital employee, visit http://www.iqovertime.com/hourly-hospital-employees-unpaid-overtime--41161.html to find out if you are entitled to back pay. 

To be ineligible to collect overtime pay, an employee must perform exempt job duties and receive a salary of at least $455 per week. Therefore, while there are a few, rare exceptions, most hourly employees, including those working at hospitals and nursing homes, are entitled to receive overtime pay when working more than 40 hours per week. Employees must receive compensation for all time considered to be hours worked, including interrupted meal breaks and off the clock work, and this time must be counted when determining the worker’s amount of overtime hours worked. 

Hourly hospital employees who were denied overtime pay may be able to participate in a lawsuit to collect up to three years of unpaid overtime, as well as an equal amount in liquidated damages and attorneys’ fees.
