New York Unpaid Overtime Violation Claims

Calculating Hours Worked

Wage and hour laws ensure employees are paid their wages and overtime as directed by New York law and by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Some employers fail to properly calculate hours worked and may be violating FLSA and New York wage and hour laws.

FLSA and wage and hour laws typically require that your employer properly calculates your hours worked and pays you for all time spent working. If you are working hours and are not being fully compensated for those hours, then you should consult an experienced wage and overtime lawyer.

Leeds Morelli & Brown, P.C. has extensive experience in handling employment disputes. Such employment disputes consist of wage and hour law claims, including violations of the overtime laws resulting from a failure to fully compensate an entitled employee for time spent working. Our efforts have resulted in millions of dollars in monetary and nonmonetary compensation for employees throughout Long Island and New York.

Common Wage and Overtime Violations for Improperly Calculating Hours

Failure to properly calculate hours worked can take many forms. Some of the more common miscalculations or failures to calculate work hours include:

  • Failure to properly calculate travel time
  • Failure to properly calculate hours spent on break and meals
  • Failure to pay for all hours worked, e.g., off the clock time spent working
  • Failure to pay for overtime, even unauthorized overtime the employer knew was being worked
  • Failure to properly classify employees as exempt vs. nonexempt employees and full time employees vs. independent contractos
  • Failure to include commission and shift differential pay in calculating overtime pay (especially for auto repair workers)
  • Utilizing comp time in lieu of overtime pay

If you are not being fully compensated for all the time you work, or your employer is improperly calculating your hours worked, then you may be entitled to overtime and additional compensation. You should consult an experienced wage and hour law lawyer.
