Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as off-the-clock work?

Off-the-clock work is work your employer knows or should know you are doing that is not recorded or paid. Common examples are setting up before clocking in, closing down after clocking out, answering work messages after a shift, and working through an unpaid meal break.

Is off-the-clock work allowed if I agreed to it?

Generally no. Under federal wage law, an employee cannot waive the right to be paid for time worked, and an employer that allows the work to continue may still owe pay for it. Your lawyer can review the facts of your job and your state.

What evidence helps an off-the-clock work claim?

Timecards, pay stubs, work schedules, texts or emails sent outside recorded hours, security or door-badge records, and the names of coworkers who worked the same hours all help show unrecorded time.

What if my manager told me to clock out and keep working?

An instruction to work unrecorded hours is strong evidence. Save the message if it is in writing and note the date, who said it and what work you did. Retaliation for raising the issue is also unlawful.

How far back can I claim unpaid off-the-clock time?

Federal wage claims generally must be filed within two years of the missed pay, or three years if the violation was willful. Some states allow longer. A lawyer can check the deadline that applies to you.

Does YesLawyer help with off-the-clock work claims in every state?

YesLawyer connects people with lawyers across the country, though state and case eligibility apply. Whether your claim can be taken depends on your state and the facts of your case.
