Lubbock is agricultural and regional service-industry employment base, and workers across Lubbock 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 Texas's state wage and hour laws.
Texas 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 Lubbock span oil, gas, and oilfield services, construction, healthcare and home care, restaurants and hospitality, and warehouse and logistics. These are among the Texas industries where we most often hear from workers about off-the-clock hours, misclassification, and miscalculated overtime pay.
