Employee Misclassification

Employee Misclassification Lawyers in Houston

Has Misclassification Taken Money Out Of Your Pocket?

One of the most common wage and hour violations committed by employers is misclassification. This refers to an employee who should be classified as nonexempt and provided an hourly wage, but is instead classified as exempt and offered a salary in order to avoid overtime pay.

If this has happened to you, arrange a consultation with a Houston employee misclassification attorney at Kennard Law, P.C. We can help.

Should You Be Getting Overtime Pay?

Are you getting a salary and working more than 40 hours a week? In order to be classified as exempt and paid a salary, employees must perform high-level job duties as defined by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). These duties may include management work or outside sales. It is unlikely that the duties performed by secretaries, retail workers, or laborers qualify as exempt. If you work this type of job and are not being paid overtime, you should consult an experienced Houston employee misclassification lawyer.

Be aware that the job duties test is based on the duties themselves, not the title of the job. In other words, just because an employee is called a supervisor does not make him or her exempt if he or she is not performing supervisory duties.

These Claims Add Up Fast

Even a few months of working 50-hour weeks can add up to substantial amounts of lost overtime pay. Many of these wage and hour cases involve years' worth of unpaid overtime. At Kennard Law, P.C., our attorneys take care to pursue the full value of every claim.
