Call Center Employees Denied Overtime Pay May Be Able to Recover Unpaid Overtime Wages

Call center employees who were denied overtime wages may be able to file a claim to recover up to three years of unpaid overtime. In general, call center workers are entitled to time-and-a-half pay when working more than 40 hours a week, and when wrongfully denied this premium pay, may be able to file a claim for their unpaid overtime wages. If you have been denied overtime pay as a call center worker, visit http://www.iqovertime.com/call-center-and-customer-service-representatives-unpaid-overtime--41077.html and complete the free case review form. According to overtime law, employers are prohibited from retaliating against employees who exercise their legal rights, so do not hesitate to take advantage of this no cost, no obligation case evaluation today.

Overtime lawsuits filed on behalf of call center employees typically result from an illegal wage and hour practice, such as working off the clock. An employee is said to be working off the clock when they are performing job-related tasks before their shift, after their shift or during an unpaid meal break without being compensated for this time. Common job duties which are performed “off the clock” include the following: booting up or shutting down computers; reviewing job-related paperwork prior to the start of a shift; staying late to fix errors or complete job tasks; and answering phones or emails during off hours. When an employee is not paid for their off the clock work, their total weekly hours have not been properly computed, and they may be suffering a loss in overtime wages. 

If you have been working off the clock or denied overtime pay as a call center employee, you may be able to file an unpaid overtime lawsuit to recover up to three years of back overtime, an equal amount in liquidated damages, and attorneys’ fees.
