About OvertimeClaims

Millions of workers lose pay every year to misclassification, off-the-clock work and miscalculated overtime. Most never find out.

OvertimeClaims.com explains federal and state overtime law in plain English and gives workers free tools to check their status and estimate what they may be owed. Then we point them to the right next step, whether that's the free U.S. Wage and Hour Division, a state agency or an employment lawyer.

Our standards

  • We rely on primary sources: federal regulations, Labor Department guidance and state labor agencies.
  • We date our content and update it when the law changes.
  • We keep tools private: calculations run in your browser and nothing is stored.
  • We're not a law firm, and we clearly label any advertising.
