How to pursue an overtime claim
If you worked more than 40 hours in a week, were not exempt from overtime and did not get paid overtime, you have two and possibly three years to file a complaint with the U.S. department of Labor ("DOL") or to file a private lawsuit. Therefore, you should go to the DOL or consult an attorney quickly, as it appears that your two years will begin to expire soon.
If you want an idea as to what you might be able to claim, email the following information to me:
The name of the employer.
Your beginning and ending dates.
Your average hours worked each week (if seasonal, provide seasonal averages and beginning and end dates for the seasons) and
Your average weekly compensation (adjusted for seasonal variations, if appropriate).
