INTRODUCTION
This page is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice regarding federal and State of Illinois overtime laws.
Federal law (FLSA) and State of Illinois law require that overtime must be paid for many job categories. Job duties are key, not titles of jobs or even if the employee is being paid a salary. Employees who are eligible for premium pay must be paid 1.5 times their hourly wages. Salaried employees, based on their job duties, may also be eligible for overtime.
Chicago Area Dental Assistant, Successful Recovery
A dental assistant in the Chicago area asked Ron Schwartz to represent her. She was paid overtime for "straight" time but not for "time and 1/2" as required by Federal and State of Illinois law. Mr. Schwartz succeeded in negotiating a settlement on her behalf in which she received double the amount that she would have received if she had been paid properly
If you believe you may have an overtime claim, please call Ron Schwartz at (312) 263-6330 to discuss whether an in-person consultation should be scheduled.
