Confusing Pay Stubs Can Support Unpaid Overtime Claims | Jonas Urba, Esq. | New York

I'm Jonas Urba, a New York employment lawyer, here with Employment Law Reality Check. What are some signs that you might not have been paid all of the wages which you are owed; that you are owed some overtime pay? If your paystub doesn't make any sense, if you can't find your overtime hours, or your overtime pay rate, that's a red flag. Secondly, how are you paid? Are you paid weekly, or every 2 weeks, or differently? If you are paid once a month that's problematic. That could be an indication that your employer is violating the Wage Theft Prevention Act, which is designed to prevent employers from stealing wages from their workers. Or finally, maybe you are paid a salary when you should be paid hourly plus overtime. Many employees think that just because their employer has decided that they are salaried that they should automatically not be paid overtime. And that's not true. It depends on what you actually do on the job. So if you filed a lawsuit in federal court, it's expensive, it costs $400, so you should call some employment lawyers before doing that. Because liquidated damages means that you might be able to get, and in most cases you are entitled to get, double the amount that is owed to you. And you can go back to get up to 6 years. So if you think about how much money you may not have been paid, sometimes the unpaid overtime is better than any discrimination claim. I have potential clients who call me, insist that they have been discriminated, but often it turns out that the unpaid wages and unpaid overtime is the best and most sure way to get some recovery from your employer. Call some employment lawyers, call me. I'm Jonas Urba, I serve the entire state of New York, and I can be reached at (914) 770-7659. Attorney Advertising.
