McAllen Overtime Claims Lawyer

In New York in 1905, long before the era of worker protection and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, a state court upheld a law that prohibited bakers from working more than sixty hours per week. The Supreme Court overturned the decision, arguing that “There is no reasonable ground for interfering with the liberty of person or the right of free contract, by determining the hours of labor, in the occupation of a baker.” Fortunately, ideas surrounding the workplace have changed since then.

Provisions in federal Fair Pay provide for overtime pay at a rate of one-and-a-half times the regular rate of pay unless an employee falls into an exempt category, such as an executive, professional, administrative, and an outside salesperson positions.  Since employees getting paid one-and-a-half times their normal rate cost their employers more for each over time hour, it is not surprising to discover that employers have sought out lawyers to help exercise their rights.
