Jeffrey Phillips’ Phoenix Law Firm Introduces Overtime Eligibility Consultations

July 06, 2016 – – Phillips Dayes National Employment Law Firm PC in Phoenix, Arizona, has begun offering consultations for workers to determine overtime eligibility. The firm’s announcement comes on the heels of the US Department of Labor (DOL) overtime rule that was announced on May 18, 2016 and will come into effect on December 1, 2016. A spokesperson for the firm states, “We want to ensure that everyone who is due overtime pay will be rewarded accordingly.”

The law firm states that there are a number of cases every year in which workers file complaints against employers because those companies are not paying overtime as mandated by the DOL. The new rule requires employers to pay salaried workers who earn up to $47,476 annually time-and-a-half for every hour they work beyond 40 hours in a week. The previous salary threshold, set in 2004, was $23,660.

“Given the new rule,” says the firm’s spokesperson, “it is essential that workers know if they are eligible for this pay. Too many people are working overtime hours and only receiving standard pay, and we want to help those who are being paid less than they should be receiving.”

The firm has assisted numerous clients with complaints against their employers in the past, over pay that should have been received but was not. The spokesperson states that there are licensed attorneys standing by with years of experience in labor laws that can assist those individuals who feel that they are not being paid adequate overtime pay by their employers. Those interested in learning more about this new rule and the firm can visit them on their official website at http://www.phillipsdayeslaw.com/.

The firm also maintains an official Facebook page where they offer advice and keep their followers updated on changes to labor laws as well as cases that they have handled with regards to labor laws, overtime eligibility, and various legal issues. They urge those in the Phoenix area and nationwide to visit and like their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/phillipsdayeslawpc/ to receive regular updates and to learn more about changes in the labor laws affect them.
