As an employee, overtime pay may be critical to maximizing your wages and achieving the financial security you deserve.
Unfortunately, overtime can be costly, and employers may try to deny or delay paying earned overtime.
Cuadra Law helps employees recover compensation for such illegal practices.
Edel Cuadra is an experienced employment lawyer who understands how important it is for hardworking individuals to receive appropriate, timely compensation. With more than two decades of experience in employment law, he fights for unpaid wages that result from questionable employer tactics.
If you’re an employee that works more than 40 hours in one week, you’re putting in the extra effort, and it must pay off!
Your eligibility depends on your employment categorization as an exempt or non-exempt worker.
Exempt employees earn a set salary without needing to adhere to a specific 40-hour work week or hourly pay rate. Non-exempt employees typically receive established hourly pay rates, making them eligible for overtime earnings if they exceed certain hours worked per week or period.
Withholding overtime pay is a form of wage theft under federal law. Edel Cuadra, an established employment attorney, helps protect your rights under the FLSA and ensures that you receive the overtime wages you’ve earned.
Ready to take the necessary steps to reclaim your unpaid overtime wages? Reputable Dallas employment lawyer Edel Cuadra can provide you with trusted representation and secure the wages you deserve. He’ll construct the strongest case possible and negotiate tirelessly on your behalf.
