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).

Bring Your Own Device Policy

North Carolina

Asked on Dec 24, 2024

What are the legal implications of implementing a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy in my company?

I am the owner of a small business and I am considering implementing a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy, where employees are allowed to use their personal devices for work purposes. However, I am concerned about the potential legal implications of such a policy, such as data security, privacy, and liability issues. I want to ensure that I am in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations, and I would like to understand the potential risks and best practices associated with implementing a BYOD policy in my company.

Jeff G.

Answered Dec 27, 2024

The best and easiest thing to do is to have a clearly-defined policy that states what you are allowing. Maybe you'll want to use MDM tools, maybe you won't. Maybe you want them to use it for just certain tasks, and maybe you'll allow them to use it for anything. Maybe there’s a tradeoff on accessibility after hours (which you also need to be careful about with non-exempt/hourly employees). You may also want to think about cost and whether you're going to contribute to someone's cell plan. All in all, it starts with figuring out what you're comfortable with doing and then building the policy and behaviors from there.

Cancellation Agreement

New York

Asked on Nov 16, 2021

How can I cancel the signed building repair contract in new york?

I have signed a contract to do repair work of home and it is in the last phase. The contract includes the work to the done and the amount allocated and it does not contain any clauses or date of completion for each phase. Currently, the contractor is not coming for work and not responding to emails and phone calls. 90% of work is done for paid work. No money is paid for pending work. I want to hire a new contractor. Is sending a letter indicating the contract is terminated due to non progress and pending work for paid amount is enough ?

Jane C.

Answered Nov 26, 2021

I suggest you send the contractor an email and mail a written letter to him stating that you will not be completing the job with him.

Articles of Incorporation

Florida

Asked on May 12, 2022

new business startup

we are located in florida but were told delaware is a good satte to incorporaet the business

Bruce B.

Answered May 27, 2022

Yes. Many businesses choose to incorporate in Delaware because Delaware has favorable laws to business entities as well as a detailed history of how cases will by decided by their courts. For this reason Delaware is a good option to consider for incorporation. You can then register with the State of Florida as a foreign corporation doing business in Florida.
