Like other laws, claims for unpaid overtime wages are subject to a statute of limitations. The “statute of limitations” is the time limit to bring a claim.
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”), the federal law for unpaid overtime claims, an employee has two years to assert their claims for unpaid overtime wages, which can extend to a third year depending on the circumstances of the unpaid overtime wages. Certain states permit a longer statute of limitations period, such as:
- CA – 4 years
- NY – 6 years
- NJ – 6 years
- HI: 6 years
- KY: 5 years
- ME: 6 years
Because the time ticks every day on a potential claim for unpaid overtime, time is of the essence if you intend to bring a claim. If you believe you have a claim for unpaid overtime, you should contact an attorney immediately to determine your legal rights. The longer you wait, the smaller your potential claim for unpaid overtime wages can become.
