Most employees in Colorado are protected by state and federal laws that mandate overtime pay. Unless exempt, employees should receive overtime pay at a rate of time and one-half their regular rate of pay. If you or someone you love believes you are owed overtime wages by your employer, we at Denver Trial Lawyers ® encourage you to discuss your situation further with an attorney from our firm.
Our legal team is well-versed in labor law and overtime regulations, as well as the common errors and employer violations that prevent workers from being paid at the lawful pay rate.
Whether you are an hourly employee who spends more than 40 hours doing company work, or a salaried employee who has been labeled as exempt from overtime wages when you are in fact eligible to receive them, we are readily available to review your case, determine your eligibility for overtime pay, and take the necessary steps to secure the wages you are rightfully owed.

Understanding Your Right to Overtime Wages
If you are a covered, nonexempt employee, both Colorado law and federal law established by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) protect your right to overtime wages when you work over 40 hours in a workweek or over 12 hours in a day. The rate of overtime pay is governed by law and must be no less than time and one-half your regular pay rate.
One of the largest issues when it comes to overtime wages is that some employees can be considered exempt from the overtime pay requirement, meaning that they do not earn time and one-half wages when they work over 40 hours in a week. Aside from certain professions, such as railroad workers or truck drivers, most employees are governed by the FLSA. Additionally, most employees governed by the FLSA are nonexempt employees and are entitled to overtime pay.

"I put my TRUST in Dan Sloane."I hired Denver Trial Lawyers to represent us in a personal injury case. My mother was abused in a nursing home. I was able to call and get my questions answered in a quick response. Dan is very professional and impressed me during negotiations with his clever strategies. He sincerely cares and seeks justice. Dan knows what he's doing and won our case for us. Having the assurance of someone strong handling things when you're broken and trying to heal was such a RELIEF. Thanks to Dan Sloane and John McDonnell for helping us through this ordeal and getting justice and compensation for my mom.- Julie D.

"Mr. Woodruff never gave up."My case ended up getting so messed up and complicated because of my former attorneys that no firm would even consider taking my case to try and salvage it. But, thanks to Mr. Woodruff for never giving up and helping us, even though his plate was so full of other clients. He never pushed us off to the side nor quit helping us. Now, this part is very important! Mr. Woodruff was never hired as my attorney, but yet, he insisted on making sure that my family and I were always taken care of and never forgotten about! Plus, he never asked us for one cent for all the time and work he had put into my case! Mr. Woodruff put more time into my case than the attorneys that I hired! In my opinion, Mr. Woodruff could have easily sent me a bill somewhere in the neighborhood of $20,000 and up! Mr. Woodruff and his firm are the only attorneys that I know who truly care about the people and not just about making money! Eventually, Mr. Woodruff and Mr. Sloane helped my family recover enough money to help us be able to start our lives over. So, if you're looking for a firm of attorneys that are ethical, actually care about you, and will do everything within their power to get you what you deserve, then you must contact Denver Trial Lawyers! My family cannot stress enough just how great this firm is! They truly saved our lives, so do yourself a huge favor and call Denver Trial Lawyers so they can save yours! Thank you, Mr. Woodruff and Mr. Sloane, from the bottom of our hearts, you will never be forgotten for all you have done for us! You are truly my family's angels!- Jon F.

"Stephen Wahlberg went above and beyond in their empathetic approach."
Stephen Wahlberg recently helped my family and me in a wrongful death case, which we filed on behalf of my mother. I’ll never forget the day of - it was surreal. Having been through these situations many times before in his career, Steve came to our side and had his staff on the scene immediately. He was highly recommended by trusted friends, and his presence offered a breath of fresh air. It was a relief in many ways, to know that he would "take care of it.” I highly recommend him to anyone who may be considering his services. I am grateful we were gifted with an incredible human being AND brilliant/talented/experienced/well-connected lawyer to support us through the legal process. Thanks again, Steve and team!
