Congratulations 2017 Rising Star Ohio Employment Lawyer

On November 22, 2016, a federal district court in Texas issued a nationwide preliminary injunction against the new “white collar” exemption from taking effect. But for the preliminary injunction, millions of workers would have been entitled to a higher threshold for the minimum pay they must receive in order to satisfy the minimum salary. For comparison purposes, the minimum salary threshold is still $455 per week or $23,660 per year, but under the new law, the minimum salary will be $913 per week or $47,476 per year.

Last week, the EEOC issued new guidance regarding employees’ rights to be protected from retaliation at work. A link to the guidance can be found at the bottom of the page.

If your employer refuses to pay overtime wages, it may be violating federal and state laws. Employees who perform non-exempt duties are required to be paid overtime (time and a half) for all hours worked over 40 in any given workweek. If you are working over 40 hours in any week and not being paid 1.5 times your regular hour rate for the overtime hours, then you should contact our Ohio Overtime Lawyers to discuss your employment further.
