Unpaid Overtime
Most hourly employees must receive time-and-a-half for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. Employers often dodge this by misclassifying staff as exempt or manipulating time records.
If your employer is shorting your paycheck, denying overtime, or forcing you to work off the clock, you have legal options. At Duff Law Firm, P.L.C, our wage and hour lawyers help Des Moines employees recover the pay they have earned and the damages the law allows.
