We believe a hard day at work deserves a decent pay. You have the right to respect and dignity in the workplace. We will fight this for you in your employer. Abney Law has a long history of litigating employment cases, including sexual harassment, hostile work environment, discrimination, and wrongful termination. We have also dealt with cases of overtime violations, civil rights violations, and wrongful termination. Many employers still break minimum wage and overtime laws, even if they are simple. Contact Abney Law if you haven't received unpaid overtime or your normal hours of work are not compensated.
Kentucky has specific overtime pay legislation. Both federal overtime and state overtime law necessitate increasing pay rates over 40 hours for employees covered. The pay rate standard is 1.5 times. The Fair Labor Standards Act and the Kentucky Wage and Hour Act also exempt some kinds of staff, including executive, administrative individuals, and professionals. Some outside salespeople and some computer employees are also exempt. Job duties and responsibilities are used to establish the exemption. Informing you that your employer refers to you as an "administrative," "exempt," or "outside salesperson" does not mean you are exempted from overtime laws (The Law Society, 2015). Labor law exemptions at the federal and state level are complicated and subject to change.
