Known as large hospitality, tourism, and service-industry workforce, Orlando anchors a large share of Orange County's workforce — and hourly and misclassified salaried employees here are among the most likely to be shorted on overtime. 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 Orlando 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 Orlando 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.
