HomeNorth Carolina Unpaid Overtime Lawyers

Wage and Hour Lawyers Serving North Carolina

When an overtime-eligible employee works over 40 hours in a workweek, they must be paid time and a half as overtime. Although most employees will receive the money they have earned, some circumstances arise where an employer illegally withholds wages or violates some other aspect of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). If your employer does not pay you the overtime wages you have earned, you have the legal right to bring a claim to receive the unpaid wages you are owed. It is important that you contact an experienced wage and hour employment lawyer to represent you.

At Bohrer Brady, LLC, our unpaid overtime employment law firm is dedicated to representing employees in North Carolina who were not paid their correct overtime pay or had their wages unfairly withheld.

Exempt and Non-Exempt Employment Status in North Carolina

An employee’s exempt or non-exempt status and the right to receive overtime pay are primarily based on job responsibilities and how they are paid. Factors are whether the employee is paid hourly or on a salary basis and whether they perform administrative or supervisory duties.
Examples of common exempt positions include:

  • Administrative
  • Executive
  • Professional
  • Outside salespeople
  • Computer-related workers

If you are not doing this type of work and you do not get paid overtime, you may have a claim. An exempt employee cannot be singled out and determined purely based on their job title. Our overtime attorneys can review your situation and help you understand whether or not you are an exempt or non-exempt worker who is entitled to overtime pay.
