Chances are that as an oil and gas industry worker, you or someone you know has faced problems without even knowing it.
With the oil industry being the driving economic force in Texas, the state and country depend on these types of workers and the long, hard hours they put in on the job. But what many workers do not know is that misclassification happens all the time in the industry, resulting in hours of unpaid overtime and unfair wages.
That is why the Texas oil worker overtime lawyers at Kennedy Hodges want to provide readers with the top questions that every oil worker should ask, to ensure that he or she is receiving the compensation that they deserve. Let's take a look at these important questions:
- - Do my job duties match my job title?
- - Do I know what my job classification means? For example, do I know the difference between a regular employee and an independent contractor?
- - Has my employer clearly told me why I am not receiving overtime?
- - Am I paid for my travel time to and from the job sites?
- - Do I ever work over my unpaid lunch hour?
- - Do I have the authority to hire or fire employees?
- - Am I paid for the paperwork that I perform at home?
- - Does my paycheck reflect overtime pay for my hours worked over 40 this week?
If you answered "no" to any of the above questions, you need to seek the help of an experienced Texas overtime attorney immediately, since you may have a claim to back wages as a
