Off-the-Clock Work
Required to work before clocking in, after clocking out, or through unpaid breaks — without being paid for that time.

Paid a salary and labeled "exempt," but actual job duties don't meet the legal test for any overtime exemption.
Learn more about Misclassification as Exempt →Independent Contractor Misclassification
Labeled a "1099 contractor" but economically dependent on one company and controlled like an employee.

Employer takes a "tip credit" but doesn't make up the difference, misuses tip pooling, or assigns too much non-tipped work at the lower wage.

Overtime calculated only on base hourly pay, leaving out commissions or non-discretionary bonuses that legally must count toward the "regular rate."
