Unpaid Overtime and Retaliation

Employees must know their rights and protections against such actions, as some employers may respond to minimum wage or overtime requests with retaliation. It occurs when an employer takes adverse actions against an employee in response to a protected action under the FLSA. This retaliation could manifest in many ways, including but not limited to the following:

• Demotion
• Termination
• Transfer to a less desirable location or shift
• Assignment to unfavorable jobs
• Cut in hours scheduled
• Denial of the same terms and conditions offered to other employees who did not request minimum wage or overtime pay

At Georgia Wage Lawyers, we recognize the serious implications of employer retaliation and stand ready to defend employees who courageously advocate for their rights. If you’ve faced adverse consequences for requesting unpaid overtime, our team is dedicated to ensuring that your employer is held accountable and your rights are protected.

What Are Your Recovery Options?

Facing retaliation from your employer for asserting your rights under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is not only unjust but also against the law. Employers engaging in such practices can face severe consequences, including legal actions and penalties. As your advocates, we at Georgia Wage Lawyers are committed to ensuring your protection and seeking justice if you’ve experienced retaliation. Here are your potential options for recovery:

• Legal Action: Firstly, filing a lawsuit against your employer for retaliation is a viable option. This legal recourse allows you to seek damages for the harm caused by retaliation, including lost wages and benefits of employment.

• Reinstatement: If your employment was terminated as an act of retaliation, seeking reinstatement to your previous position is a possible remedy.

• Compensation: Also, pursuing compensation for lost wages, emotional distress, and any other damages resulting from retaliation is a crucial step toward securing your rights.

• Injunctive Relief: Additionally, in some cases, seeking injunctive relief to stop ongoing retaliation and prevent future occurrences may be necessary.
