Wage & Hour
Every hour you work deserves to be paid. We pursue unpaid overtime, minimum-wage violations and withheld pay for Florida workers.
Lyle B. Masnikoff and Associates, P.A. represents employees for claims against their employers, including wage and hour violations. Employees that are covered under the Fair Labor Standards Act are entitled to overtime compensation at one and one-half their regular hourly rate of pay.
If you work over 40 hours a week without being paid at one and one-half your regular hourly rate, you may have a valid claim for overtime compensation. Also, if your employer deducts work breaks that you did not actually take or deducts for breaks for less than 20 minutes, you may be entitled to overtime compensation. You should know that even if your employer classifies you as an ‘exempt’ or ‘salaried’ employee, you may still be entitled to overtime compensation.
Let the experienced attorneys at Lyle B. Masnikoff and Associates, P.A. further discuss whether you have a cause of action for unpaid overtime compensation.
What we handle.
Unpaid overtime
Most hourly workers are owed time-and-a-half for hours over 40 in a workweek.
Minimum-wage violations
Florida’s minimum wage is higher than the federal one - and employers must pay it.
Misclassification
Called a “contractor” or “manager” to avoid overtime? Your title doesn’t decide your rights.
Off-the-clock work
Pre-shift setup, after-hours calls, skipped breaks that weren’t really breaks.
Wage & Hour questions.
I’m salaried. Can I still be owed overtime?
Possibly. Being paid a salary doesn’t automatically make you exempt - your actual duties matter.
Can I be fired for asking about unpaid wages?
Retaliating against employees for asserting wage rights is generally prohibited. Talk to us before you assume you have no options.
