Minneapolis is large corporate, retail, and service-industry employment hub, and workers across Hennepin 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 Minnesota's state wage and hour laws.
Minnesota 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.
