Technical Support Employees Denied Overtime

System engineers, system administrators, IT analysts, database administrators and other tech support employees who were denied overtime compensation may be able to recover up to three years of unpaid overtime wages.

The information technology field encompasses a wide range of occupations, with the majority of these employees being entitled to overtime pay. Still, some employers attempt to avoid paying overtime to technical support employees by claiming that they are not eligible for overtime pay due to their salary-based pay, requiring them to work off hours without counting this time, failing to pay for time spent answering pages while on call, or misclassifying them as ineligible for overtime pay.

If you have been denied overtime pay as a technical support employee or IT worker, your employer may be liable for your unpaid overtime hours. Fill out our free case review form today to find out if you can file a claim to recover up to three years of back overtime wages.
