Too many hardworking employees in Houston are denied the overtime and wages they have legally earned. Employers sometimes misclassify workers, alter time records, or pressure employees to work off the clock. When that happens, it is not just unfair — it may be illegal.
Klitsas Law Firm represents employees who have been denied overtime pay, minimum wage, or proper compensation. We stand up for workers and hold employers accountable when they violate wage and hour laws.
Under federal and Texas wage laws, most non-exempt employees must receive overtime pay at one and one-half times their regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. However, many employers misclassify workers as “salaried” or “independent contractors” to avoid paying overtime.
Just because you receive a salary does not automatically mean you are exempt from overtime.
Wage violations can take many forms. Our firm frequently handles cases involving:
These practices harm workers and their families. Employers must follow the law, regardless of company size.
Sometimes employees are unsure whether their rights are being violated. If you regularly work more than 40 hours per week without overtime pay, are told to clock out but continue working, or are labeled as “management” without real supervisory authority, you may have a claim.
Employers cannot retaliate against employees for asking about overtime pay or asserting their rights. If you believe you have been treated unfairly after raising wage concerns, that may also be a violation of the law.
When wage laws are violated, employees may be entitled to recover:
In certain cases, claims may cover multiple years of unpaid compensation.
Wage claims are subject to time limits. Waiting too long can reduce the amount of compensation available. Speaking with an attorney early allows you to understand your rights and preserve important evidence such as pay stubs, time records, and employment agreements.
You should not have to worry about legal costs to recover the wages you earned. Klitsas Law Firm handles overtime and unpaid wage cases on a contingency basis whenever possible. That means you pay nothing unless we successfully recover compensation for you.
If your employer failed to pay you properly, you do not have to accept it. Klitsas Law Firm is ready to review your case and explain your options.
