Richmond is distribution and government employment growth, and workers across Henrico 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 Virginia's state wage and hour laws.
Virginia 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.
