Wage Theft · Missouri
Is your employer refusing to pay you time-and-a-half for hours over 40 per week in Missouri?
Force immediate payment and claim every statutory penalty your state allows.
Under FLSA Overtime Provision, 29 U.S.C. § 207, this is wage theft. Employers cannot avoid overtime by calling you salaried if your duties are not truly exempt, and they cannot average hours across two weeks. Each unpaid OT hour is its own federal violation. Use our engine to generate a professional Wage Demand Letter in under 60 seconds.
Your consumer rights in Missouri
Employers withhold wages because they assume you cannot afford a labor attorney. Here is the exact statutory leverage you hold over them right now.
Federal protection — FLSA Overtime Provision, 29 U.S.C. § 207
Non-exempt employees must be paid 1.5x their regular rate for every hour worked over 40 in a single workweek, including off-the-clock prep, cleanup, and donning/doffing time.
Missouri statute — Mo. Rev. Stat. § 290.110
Continuing wages up to 60 days plus attorney fees. State penalties stack on top of federal FLSA damages.
Remedy
Recovery of all unpaid overtime PLUS an equal amount in liquidated (double) damages and attorney fees under federal law.
Evidence to lock in your claim
Save your time records, clock-in/clock-out screenshots, schedule texts, and any manager communications asking you to work before or after your shift.
Crucial tactic: Citing Mo. Rev. Stat. § 290.110 and threatening to file a formal claim with the state labor commissioner is usually enough to make HR overnight your check. Defending a state wage claim costs employers thousands in legal fees, making immediate settlement their cheapest option.
