Employee Contract

Massachusetts

Asked on Aug 18, 2025

Can I file a claim for unpaid overtime wages?

I have been working for a small consulting firm for the past two years, and I recently discovered that I have not been receiving overtime pay despite regularly working more than 40 hours per week. According to my employment contract, I am classified as an exempt employee, but after researching the Fair Labor Standards Act, I believe that I may be misclassified and entitled to overtime compensation. I would like to know if I have a valid claim for unpaid overtime wages and what steps I should take to pursue this matter legally.

Frank G.

Answered Sep 26, 2025

If you are "non-exempt" and thereby entitled to overtime. Determining whether a worker is an "exempt" employee and not entitled to overtime requires application of the law to the facts. For instance, an "exempt" executive employee are paid not less than $455 per week, have their primary duty to manage part of the busisess, regularly direct the work of two or more other employees, and have the authority to hire or fire other employees or to make recommendations about hiring and firing taken into account by their employers. An "exempt" administrative employee, are also paid at least $455 a week and has the primary duty of the performance of office or non-manual work directly related to the management or general business operations of the employer or its customers--and is an employee whose primary duty for the employer involves exercising their discretion and independent judgment with respect to matters significant to the employer. It's not always easy to determine if someone is a managerial or administrative employee however and it can be a gray area. There are lots of examples of overtime exemptions such as computer and creative professionals, outside sales people, some truck drviers, some mechanics and some people working at auto dealerships. You may be non-exempt and eligible for overtime under the law if you are a paid a salary based on a 40 hour work week but work more than 40 hours. If you are eligible for overtime there are laws protecting you from retaliation for complaining about not being paid overtime.

Shareholders Agreement

Massachusetts

Asked on Feb 4, 2022

Should I form a corporation around my research if I don't plan to conduct any other forms of business (e.g., hire, sell, or raising funding) in the next year?

Should I form a corporation around my work if I don't plan to conduct any other forms of business (e.g., hire, sell, or raise outside funding) in the next year? My research is computational in nature (can be done on my laptop) and doesn't require many resources.

Richard G.

Answered Feb 8, 2022

The answer to this questions to some degree depends upon your tolerance for risk. If in performing your "business" you are not exposing yourself in any way to the outside world, e.g., hiring, selling, inviting investors, etc., then you may no little to no liability exposure. However, if there is any aspect of your work that would or could develop into something which does involve others, or which is relied upon by others, then the safest path would be to incorporate or form an LLC. LLC's are more expensive to maintain in Massachusetts, i.e., $500 annually, but require less paperwork (no shares to consider, etc.). An LLC should have an operating agreement, even with a single member to clearly distinguish the member as an individual from the LLC as a company. Incorporation is more expensive in the early stages as it requires you to pay your fee to the Secretary of State (about $275), which recurs annually. It is more heavy in terms of annual meeting minutes of shareholders, and other formal documents, and can be a bit more expensive as incorporating will require a shareholder's agreement and other documentation at the outset (not repeated annually).

Data Transfer Agreement

New York

Asked on Dec 27, 2022

New companies databases is possible?

We're a US-based company with clients around the country. We help new, small and medium businesses to grow as well. Although, we do it through marketing and sales strategies. I was wondering if an attorney is able to sell databases of companies that have recently been created in the US. What we want to do is to help these companies to grow (to be on the map, so to speak) with our strategies. I can provide more details if required. Thanks in advance

Adjckwc B.

Answered Jan 6, 2023

Business formation is public record in most states in the US. Delaware, Nevada, New Mexico, and Wyoming are exceptions. If you are looking for data on newly formed companies you can obtain the same from the Secretary of State. There are also many companies who offer data lists for sale. If you need a data transfer agreement we can assist with that as well.

Operating Agreement

New York

Asked on Jun 7, 2024

What should be included in an operating agreement for a small business?

I am in the process of starting a small business with a partner and we are in the early stages of drafting an operating agreement. We want to ensure that all aspects of our business are properly addressed and that our rights, responsibilities, and decision-making processes are clearly defined. We are seeking guidance on what specific provisions should be included in the operating agreement to protect both of our interests and minimize potential conflicts in the future.

Damien B.

Answered Jun 11, 2024

Hello! Here's some guidance on specific provisions you should consider: Business & Ownership Structure: - Name and Location: Make sure to include the official business name and the state where your LLC is formed. - Membership: List all members of the LLC and their ownership percentages. - Management Structure: Clearly state whether the LLC will be member-managed (all members participate in daily operations) or manager-managed (designated members handle day-to-day operations). Financial Management: - Capital Contributions: Provide details on the initial capital contributions from each member and how future contributions will be handled. - Profit & Loss Sharing: Outline how profits and losses will be distributed among members, taking into account ownership percentages or other factors. - Distributions: Establish rules for how and when members can receive distributions from the business. - Accounting Practices: Define the accounting method used (cash or accrual) and how financial records will be maintained. Decision-Making & Operations: - Voting Rights: Specify voting rights for members, including majority or unanimous voting requirements for different decisions (e.g., admitting new members, taking on debt). - Meetings: Determine the frequency and procedures for member meetings, including how notices will be sent and how votes will be conducted. - Management Duties: If the LLC is manager-managed, clearly define the roles and responsibilities of the managers. Dissolution & Buyouts: - Dissolution Events: List the events that could trigger the dissolution of the LLC (e.g., member death, bankruptcy). - Buyout Provisions: Establish a process for one member to buy out another's interest in the LLC, including valuation methods and potential triggers (e.g., retirement, disability). - Dispute Resolution: Specify a process for resolving disagreements between members, such as mediation or arbitration. Additional Considerations: - Non-Compete Agreements: Consider including a non-compete clause to prevent members from competing with the business after leaving. - Term of Agreement: Decide whether the operating agreement will have a definite term or be perpetual. Seeking Legal Help: While this list provides a starting point, it is highly recommended to consult with a business attorney to customize the operating agreement according to your specific business and state regulations. They can ensure the agreement is legally sound and adequately protects your interests. By incorporating these provisions and seeking legal advice, you and your partner can create a comprehensive operating agreement that minimizes future conflicts and establishes a strong foundation for your small business.
