Miami is major hospitality, retail, and service-industry job market, and workers across Miami-Dade County's economy sometimes find their paychecks don't reflect the overtime hours they actually worked. Workers here are protected by the federal FLSA and by Florida's state wage and hour laws.
Florida generally follows the federal FLSA standard: overtime is owed after 40 hours in a workweek. State-specific nuances should be confirmed with a licensed attorney.
Employers in and around Miami span hospitality and tourism, healthcare and home care, construction, agriculture, and retail. These are among the Florida industries where we most often hear from workers about off-the-clock hours, misclassification, and miscalculated overtime pay.
Common Miami claims include off-the-clock work, salaried-but-misclassified roles, tipped-worker minimum-wage shortfalls, and comp time handed out instead of real overtime pay. Browse all claim types to learn more.
