Frequently Asked Questions
Employment Law FAQ
Under federal FLSA, overtime is 1.5x your regular rate for hours over 40 per workweek. Some states (California, Alaska, Nevada) require daily overtime after 8 hours. Exempt employees (executives, administrators, professionals earning over $684/week) are not entitled to overtime.
Wrongful termination occurs when an employer fires an employee for illegal reasons: discrimination (race, sex, age, disability), retaliation for protected activity (filing a complaint, whistleblowing), or violation of an employment contract. At-will employment allows firing for any reason except illegal ones.
Severance is not legally required in most states. When offered, common formulas are 1-2 weeks per year of service, or 1 month per year for executive roles. Severance agreements typically include a release of claims. WARN Act requires 60 days notice for mass layoffs at companies with 100+ employees.
Unemployment eligibility requires: separation from work through no fault of your own (layoff, not resignation or termination for cause), sufficient prior earnings history, and availability and active search for new work. Weekly benefit amounts typically range from 40-50% of prior wages up to a state maximum.
