Overtime Violations
Milford, Connecticut, Wage & Overtime Violations Lawyer
Laws governing wages and overtime are complex, and employer violations are surprisingly common. While some legal exceptions regarding the need to pay overtime exist, many employees who are told they do not qualify for overtime actually do qualify, and are legally owed back pay that may sometimes equal many thousands of dollars.
If you suspect your employer is not following wage and overtime compensation laws properly, contact the employment law firm of The Pantuso Law Firm LLC for answers, clarification and experienced legal representation.

Attorneys Tony Pantuso and Jessica Boudreau have successfully represented numerous employees and employee groups whose employers illegally withheld overtime compensation. For example:
- We have represented auto appraisers who were denied overtime compensation. Auto appraisers are employed by insurance companies and typically work 50 to 60 hours per week. Insurance companies claimed that appraisers were exempt from overtime pay due to the "administrative exemption" which exempts professional- and management-type employees. We defeated the company’s motion to dismiss the case and ultimately recovered back pay for the appraisers.*
- In a class action or "collective action" under the Fair Labor Standard Act (FLSA), we sued an employer on behalf of 50 employees, and recovered a collective seven-figure settlement against a national company.*
- In another collective action under the FLSA, we successfully recovered back overtime for a class of 235 retail store managers.*
Just because you earn a salary does not mean you qualify for exemption from overtime pay laws. Exemptions can involve duties, the number of direct full-time reports and other factors. To learn more about your overtime rights, contact us.
