I work in a restaurant and am paid a fixed rate no matter how many hours I work - is this legal?
A:
Non-exempt employees should be paid by the hour for every hour they work. If you are a non-exempt employee and are paid a fixed salary every week, regardless of how many hours you work you could be eligible to recover your back wages plus damages and attorney's fees.
