Underwriters Denied Overtime Pay May Be Able To Recover Up to Three Years of Unpaid Overtime

Underwriters who were denied overtime pay may be able to file a claim to collect up to three years of unpaid overtime wages. In general, underwriters are entitled to receive time-and-a-half pay when working more than 40 hours a week, and when denied this premium pay, may have legal recourse.

An underwriter who elects to file an unpaid overtime claim may be eligible to collect a number of damages. Depending on the nature of the overtime violation, the underwriter may be able to collect up to three years of unpaid overtime wages. Additionally, they may also be eligible to recover an equal amount in liquidated damages. In other words, if an underwriter files an unpaid overtime lawsuit and recovers $4000 in back overtime wages, they may also be able to collect an additional $4000 in liquidated damages, for a total recovery of $8000. Attorneys’ fees are also available for recovery in an unpaid overtime lawsuit

Overtime law protects the rights of underwriters who choose to take legal action to recover unpaid overtime wages; employers are prohibited from taking retaliatory action, (i.e. firing, demoting) against employees simply because they have exercised their legal rights.
