Have you worked overtime and not been paid at premium overtime rates? Does your Wisconsin employer wrongfully assert that your non-exempt job is actually exempt, in order to avoid paying overtime?

When your hard work is being abused and you are refused the wages that are due, it is time to contact a smart, experienced Wisconsin wage claims attorney.

Employers in a variety of industries have paid millions of dollars in settlement of claims that management employees should have been paid overtime premium pay, or non-exempt employees did not receive pay for all hours worked, or overtime premiums had been computed incorrectly, among other wage-hour law mistakes. At Alan C. Olson & Associates, we help employees recover their earned wages. penalties, attorney fees and expenses.

When wages payable; pay orders.

(1) REQUIRED FREQUENCY OF PAYMENTS. Every employer shall as often as monthly, pay to every employee engaged in the employer's business, . . . all wages earned by such employee to a day not more than 31 days prior to such payment.

"'Wage' or 'wages' mean remuneration payable to the employee for personal services, including "salaries, commissions ... bonuses and any other similar advantages agreed upon between the employer and the employee or provided by the employer to the employees as an established policy."

It is important to remember that:

• Employees may recover up to double their unpaid wages under Wisconsins wage claim law
