Identify the pay that may be missing
Still waiting for regular pay, final wages or earned compensation? Start with what was due, when it was due and what you received.
A wage review starts with the work you performed, the pay you received and the rules that apply to your job. Missing regular pay, off-the-clock work and unpaid overtime can raise different questions.
- Hours worked but missing from time records
- Overtime pay that does not match the workweek
- Deductions or withheld earnings that need review
Useful records for your case review
Keep records you already have lawful access to, including original dates. A short timeline is useful even when some documents are missing.
- Pay statements and the dates of missing payments
- Schedules, time records and your own notes of hours worked
- Pay agreements and messages about unpaid work
Regular pay, overtime and other earnings
Federal overtime rules generally apply to covered, nonexempt employees after 40 hours in a workweek. Job duties and applicable exemptions matter; being paid a salary alone does not settle eligibility. State law and the pay agreement may affect final wages, commissions and other earnings.
How It Works
- Share the timelineExplain what happened, where you worked and the key dates.
- Review the factsAn employment attorney can assess coverage, evidence and applicable deadlines.
- Understand your optionsReview potential next steps and representation terms before deciding how to proceed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can salaried employees be owed overtime?
Sometimes. The exemption rules consider job duties and other requirements, so salary alone does not answer the question.
What if my employer did not record all my hours?
Describe the tasks, dates and approximate time involved. Schedules, messages and your own notes can help an attorney understand missing time.
Are unpaid commissions the same as unpaid overtime?
They can involve different rules. Bring the commission agreement and payment history so the review can address each type of missing pay.
What should I prepare for a free consult?
Start with your employer, work location and a short timeline of what happened. The initial case evaluation is free; you can begin even if you do not have every document.
