Legal Question in Employment Law in Illinois
Overtime
I've been working over 40 hours per week for 10 years. I do receive a salary, but have never been compensated for overtime. Do I qualify for overtime wages?

Re: Overtime
Quite possibly. It depends, in part, on the position you hold with your employer. Senior personnel, who direct & control their own work, are not entited to the benefits of the statute which mandates overtime protection.
What is your position with the company?

You may be entitled to overtime and back pay under the FLSA. Instead of going back and forth on this site, send me an e-mail, and I'll provide you with a brief explanation of the FLSA and a short questionnaire designed to help me determine if you have a claim. There is no fee for communicating me, and if there is a case, then there is no fee unless you recover. My e-mail is [email protected].
