How Hiring a Lawyer Can Help Your Unpaid Overtime Claim

As a washer and dryer repairman, your main focus is to repair the machines that bring convenience and time-savings to people all over Houston. Your repairs are most likely not limited to private residences, as hotels, nursing homes, hospitals, and even schools, which also use washers and dryers.

This also means is that you are most likely spending quite a bit of time on the road, traveling from one repair site to the next.

But what happens if you are not paid for that time? Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, washer and dryer repairmen are entitled to compensation for the time they spend traveling to job-related destinations. If your boss is refusing to pay you for that time, even after you point out that it goes against the FLSA, should you hire an attorney?

It is certainly worth sitting down and discussing your situation during a free consultation. It is possible that a lawyer can help you in the more ways than one.

Let's take a look at how an experienced Houston FLSA attorney can assist you in your claim:

• The attorney will conduct an investigation to find out about the employer's business practices - both good and bad
• The lawyer will look at not only your complaint, but also try to discover if anyone else in the company is facing similar problems
• An experienced attorney will be able to tell you if your employer has faced any FLSA violations in the past
• The lawyer can explain to you exactly why your job duties are covered under the FLSA, as well as how the U.S. Department of Labor works 
• Most lawyers will either set up a manageable payment plan or work on a contingency basis that would require no payments up front
• The lawyer will file all necessary paperwork on your behalf and appear in court for you, if necessary
• The attorney will keep you apprised of any deadlines that could affect your claim
