State Overtime Laws Explained by US Overtime Lawyers.com

US Overtime Lawyers.com is providing a summary of overtime laws by state to help employees learn their legal rights regarding overtime pay, minimum wage and other labor law issues. While the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) provides national laws regarding overtime pay and other employee rights, many states have also enacted their own wage and hour regulations. In most cases, employers must follow the regulation, either state or federal, which is most favorable to the employee.

Employees who suspect their employee rights have been violated can also receive a free legal case review on the site. 

When an employee is denied overtime pay in violation of federal or state overtime laws, they may be able to file an unpaid overtime lawsuit to recover compensation for damages. In general, an overtime lawsuit will afford the employee an opportunity to seek compensation for up to three years of unpaid overtime wages. In some cases, employees may also be entitled to twice the amount of unpaid overtime recovered, awarded in the form of liquidated damages.  Attorneys’ fees are also available for recovery under most state overtime laws
