Retail and Overtime

Milford, Connecticut, Lawyers Representing Misclassified Retail Workers

Retail workers and managers often find themselves working mandatory overtime and not receiving the compensation to which they are entitled. This is because some large retailers or companies purposely misclassify their employees as "exempt" in order to avoid paying overtime. This is an illegal practice.

If you are a retail worker or manager and believe that you may be the victim of job misclassification, you should strongly consider speaking with an employment law attorney. You do have options for rectifying an unfair employment situation.

At The Pantuso Law Firm, LLC, in Milford, Connecticut, we represent employees who are not receiving the overtime pay they deserve due to an improper classification. We are here to help.

Protecting the Rights of Retail Managers and Workers

In order to qualify as exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), an employee must make at least $455 a week and meet specific requirements relating to their job duties. If you feel you may be misclassified, contact us to discuss your situation.

Employment law attorneys Tony Pantuso and Jessica Boudreau understand that without a clear understanding of complex FLSA regulations and your rights, it is easy to fall victim to unscrupulous business practices. They are prepared to take action on your behalf, including assisting you in starting or becoming part of any applicable class action lawsuit.

Protect Yourself From Mistreatment

In many cases, retail workers paid an hourly wage, or employees receiving a salary will be required to work much longer than a typical eight hour day without being paid the appropriate compensation. This is an unfair and often illegal practice. Please do not hesitate to take action against this injustice.
