How to File an FLSA Complaint
- 1). Compose your complaint. Include your name, address and phone number as well as your job description and the type of work you do or did.
- 2). Include your wages, the number of hours worked each week and frequency of paychecks. For example; if you earned $5 per hour, worked 40 hours a week and were paid every week you would write "$5 per hour/paid salary of $200 every week."
- 3). Cite the allegations against your employer. For example, FLSA requires that you be paid overtime for any additional hours you work; overtime rates are one and a half times your hourly salary. If your complaint is that your employer did not pay you overtime at all you need to cite this.
- 4). Include the dates of the violations. Also include the name of the employer, the address and contact phone number of the employer and the nature of the business.
- 5). Mail or deliver your written complaint to any United States Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division office location (see Resources). The office will investigate your complaint and will contact you if it needs additional information or when the investigation is complete.
