Hourly Retail Employees Who Were Denied Overtime Pay May Be Able to Collect Unpaid Overtime Wages

The overtime lawyers working with IQOvertime.com are available to review unpaid overtime claims from hourly retail employees who regularly work more than 40 hours a week and have been denied overtime pay. Generally, employees who are paid on an hourly basis, including those working in retail stores, are entitled to receive 1.5 times their regular rate of pay for every hour worked over 40 in a single workweek. If you have been denied overtime pay as an hourly retail employee, visit http://www.iqovertime.com/hourly-retail-employees-unpaid-overtime--41238.html to find out if you can collect compensation for your unpaid overtime hours. 

Retail employees who were denied overtime pay may have been subjected to an illegal wage and hour practice and therefore may be able to file an unpaid overtime lawsuit. For instance, in July 2010, a Wal-Mart cashier in Nevada launched a putative class action which alleged that the discount retailer failed to provide proper overtime pay to its hourly employees. According to the unpaid overtime lawsuit, Wal-Mart required and allowed these employees to work in excess of eight hours per day and 40 hours per workweek without time-and-a-half pay due to “shift jamming.” This practice allowed the retail employees to work shifts starting less than 16 hours after the conclusion of their previous shift. As a result, the employees in the overtime case accumulated more than eight hours of work during a 24-hour period without receiving overtime pay for the extra hours of work performed during the second shift. 

Retail employees who are paid on an hourly basis and have been denied overtime pay may be able to file a lawsuit to collect up to three years of unpaid overtime wages.
