Known as Ozarks regional service-industry employment, Springfield anchors a large share of Greene 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 Missouri's state wage and hour laws.
Missouri 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.
