Newspaper Carriers Who Were Denied Overtime Pay May Be Entitled to Back Overtime Wages

The overtime attorneys working with IQOvertime.com are available to review unpaid overtime claims from newspaper carriers who regularly work more than 40 hours a week and have been denied overtime pay. Newspaper carriers who do not meet one of the federal overtime exemptions which are typically reserved for executive, administrative or professional employees, are entitled to time-and-a-half pay for hours worked in excess of 40 during a single workweek. If you have been denied overtime pay as a newspaper carrier, visit http://www.iqovertime.com/newspaper-carriers-unpaid-overtime--41217.html to receive a free case review of your potential unpaid overtime claim. 

Newspaper carriers who were denied overtime pay may have been subjected to employee misclassification or another illegal wage and hour practice. In fact, a group of newspaper carriers recently received class certification in an unpaid overtime action which alleged that the newspaper misclassified them as independent contractors. A class of workers typically ineligible to collect overtime pay, independent contractors are not covered by federal overtime law and therefore cannot collect overtime wages. However, employees who do not meet the criteria of a true independent contractor are entitled to overtime pay unless otherwise exempt. 

Newspaper carriers who were denied overtime pay may be able to recover up to three years of back wages through an unpaid overtime lawsuit.
