If you work more than 40 hours per week and don't receive time-and-a-half pay (1.5 times your regular rate), your employer is violating federal law. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires most employees to receive overtime pay, regardless of whether you're paid hourly or salary.
Many workers are surprised to learn how much they're owed in back overtime pay. When combined with liquidated damages (equal to your unpaid wages), recoveries often reach into the tens of thousands of dollars - sometimes much more.

Exercise discretion and independent judgment on matters of significance

Customer service representatives

Loan officers and financial service workers
Restaurant shift supervisors
Computer technicians and IT support
