Texas Overtime Law Sets Time Limit for Filing Unpaid Overtime Claims

Texas overtime law only allows employees a certain amount of time, typically two years, to make a claim for unpaid overtime wages. This time limit is known as the Texas overtime statute of limitations and, once expired, will prevent the employee from filing a legal claim for their unpaid overtime hours. To help ensure this time period does not run out, employees who have been denied overtime pay in Texas should seek legal assistance as soon as possible. To find out if you still have legal recourse for your unpaid overtime hours, visit http://www.iqovertime.com/texas-overtime-laws--TX.html and complete the immediate case review form for a no cost, no obligation evaluation of your claim. 

Texas overtime law requires that eligible employees receive time-and-a-half pay for every hour worked over 40 in a single workweek, and when violated, may warrant legal action. Although each case varies, unpaid overtime lawsuits in Texas typically allow the plaintiff an opportunity to collect up to two years of unpaid overtime wages, or three years in cases of willful overtime law violations. Additionally, the plaintiff may also be able to collect liquidated damages, which match the amount of unpaid overtime recovered. For instance, if an employee recovers $3000 in unpaid overtime wages, they may also be entitled to an additional $3000, bringing their total award to $6000. Attorneys’ fees are also typically available for recovery under Texas overtime law.
