-
Can my job require me to work overtime hours?
-
Generally, yes. There are no federal or state laws that prohibit an employer from requiring you to work overtime. However, the existence of a collective bargaining agreement or employment contract that places limits on working overtime may affect an employer’s ability to require you to work overtime.
-
Am I still entitled to overtime pay if I am a salaried employee?
-
It depends on whether you perform job duties that qualify you as “exempt” under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). Common exemptions under the FLSA include the Executive, Administrative, and Professional exemptions. However, if you are a non-exempt employee and are paid on a salary basis, then you are generally still entitled to overtime pay for all hours worked over forty per workweek.
-
Can my employer legally withhold my commission payments?
-
An employee’s right to a commission payment depends largely on the terms of the employment contract in place. With that being said, if all the requirements to earn a commission have been satisfied according to the contract, then an employee has a right to be paid their earned commission under Illinois law.
-
Am I entitled to payment of my accrued and unused vacation time when I leave my job?
-
Yes. Illinois state law mandates that employers pay employees for all earned vacation time upon separation of employment. The payment for the accrued and unused vacation time must be included in the last paystub.
Caffarelli & Associates LTD was handling a medical lawsuit for me and did great!
Absolutely loved everything about them. Always on top of the case and made sure I was satisfied with their work which I absolutely was! Would definitely recommend them to any one and will further use them.
