Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

I was laid off on Aug 29 of 2008 after nearly 14 years of sevice. I received no severance pay and no compensation for the required "extra effort" (additional hours) that I worked for theose 8 months. As of Jan 2009 the company is now giving severance pay to in the form of 1 weeks pay for every year served over 5 years. Do I have any legal recourse?

You may have a claim for unpaid overtime or minimum wage violations, depending on a variety of factors. There are a lot of exceptions and exemptions to the laws, so you should discuss your case with an employment attorney to see if you qualify.

If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at your convenience.
