The law protects you from retaliation for making or filing complaints about your unpaid overtime pay. However, suing your employer while you’re still employed can be an awkward situation, to say the least. Furthermore, even if you can sue the employer for a retaliatory firing if it happens, you’re probably better off having that job than being in a lawsuit over it. So if you’re still at the job where you have unpaid overtime, talk to a board-certified employee rights attorney about it to determine the best approach.

As you can see from O’Brien Law Firm’s mission, we are here to improve your life. Therefore, we are strategic and thoughtful on how we approach this situation. Part of the approach may depend on how long you’ve been going without being properly paid. If it’s close to or more than two years, you may need to file your claim anyway or otherwise potentially begin losing that unpaid overtime pay forever. It depends – let’s talk. Just know you’re in good hands when you trust us with your case.
