Kansas City Wage and Hour Attorneys
Our firm regularly meets with Missouri employees who have questions as to whether they are entitled to overtime compensation along with back-pay and unpaid wages. Kansas City workers are commonly denied overtime pay, tips, commissions and compensation from their employers. This conduct violates Missouri law and the federal FLSA.
The Law Offices of Kevin J. Dolley advocates for workers across the State of Missouri in wage and hour disputes. The firm represents workers denied compensation for time spent working and who are misclassified as exempt employees and thereby wrongfully denied overtime compensation. We represent workers in individual, group, collective and class action employment wage and hour litigation in state and federal court.
Protecting the Wage Compensation Rights of Kansas City Workers
The need to file a claim for unpaid wages commonly results from the following situations:
- Misclassification to avoid overtime compensation
- Off the clock work before and after shifts
- Paying less than the minimum wage
- Unpaid overtime to salaried employees
The federal FLSA and Missouri law provides that most employees are entitled to overtime compensation for hours worked in excess of 40 hours per week at time and a half the regular rate of pay. Many Kansas City employers wrongfully classify employees exempt from overtime compensation as salaried workers or independent contractors. If you have been wrongfully denied pay for time worked or wrongfully denied overtime pay, you are entitled to damages including back-pay, unpaid wages, liquidated damages (double damages), costs and attorney's fees.
