Texas Call Center Employees Denied Overtime May Have Legal Recourse for Unpaid Overtime Wages

Call center employees in Texas who were denied overtime pay may have legal recourse to recover up to three years of unpaid overtime wages. Texas overtime law requires that all employees, unless specifically exempt, receive time-and-a-half pay when working more than 40 hours in a single workweek. When an employee is denied overtime wages in violation of Texas overtime law, they may have legal recourse. Texas overtime law prohibits employers from retaliating against employees who exercise their legal rights, so do not hesitate to find out if you may be entitled to unpaid overtime wages by visiting http://www.iqovertime.com/call-center-and-customer-service-representatives-unpaid-overtime--41077.html and completing the free case review form.  

When a call center employee in Texas files an unpaid overtime lawsuit, they may be able to recover a number of damages. Generally, they will be able to seek compensation for up to two years of unpaid overtime wages. If their employer intentionally violated Texas overtime law, the call center employee may be able to recover three years of unpaid overtime. Additionally, they may be entitled to twice the amount of unpaid overtime wages recovered. For instance, if a Texas call center employee recovers $4000 in back wages, they may also be entitled to an additional $4000 in liquidated damages, bringing their total recovery to $8000. Attorneys’ fees are also available for recovery in a Texas unpaid overtime lawsuit. 

If you’ve been denied overtime pay as a Texas call center employee, it’s important to keep in mind that you only have a certain amount of time to make a claim for your unpaid overtime wages. Failure to file an unpaid overtime claim within this time period, known as the statute of limitations, will prevent you from ever seeking compensation for your unpaid overtime wages.
