How long do I have to file an overtime or minimum wage claim in Florida?
A. While the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) only offers two to three years for employment cases, Florida residents have a longer statute of limitations. Under Florida overtime and minimum wage law, employees have four years to file a claim; if the employer’s action was willful, the employee has five years. However, Florida workers should not hesitate to file a claim. Contacting a Florida overtime lawyer in a timely manner can help ensure he or she has enough time to put together a strong case.
