Retail Representatives Who Were Denied Overtime Pay May Be Owed Compensation for Unpaid Overtime

The overtime lawyers working with IQOvertime.com are available to review unpaid overtime claims from retail representatives who regularly work more than 40 hours a week and have been denied overtime pay. Generally, retail representatives are entitled to receive 1.5 times their regular rate of pay for hours worked in excess of 40 during a single workweek. If you have been denied overtime pay as a retail representative, visit http://www.iqovertime.com/retail-representatives-unpaid-overtime--41245.html to receive a free case review of your potential overtime claim. 

Retail representatives who were denied overtime pay may have been subjected to an illegal wage and hour practice and therefore may be entitled to financial compensation. R.J. Reynolds Tobacco recently settled three class action lawsuits filed on behalf of retail representatives who claimed that they did not receive proper pay for time spent driving and were denied overtime wages. According to the overtime case, the retail representatives were required to travel between stores to ensure the tobacco company’s products were available for sale and confirm that the retailers were acting in accordance with their contracts. The retail representatives accused R.J. Reynolds of shortchanging them for time spent driving between these retail outlets. When an employee is not properly compensated for all hours spent working, they may also suffer an additional loss in overtime wages. 

If you were denied overtime pay as a retail representative, you may be able to file 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.
