As Maryland employers have increasingly come to learn, employee claims of unpaid overtime are among the most challenging to resolve. This is true primarily because the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) (as well as analogous state wage and hour statutes) are among the most unforgiving, if not the most unforgiving, of all of the employment statutes for employers. What is far less understood by Maryland employers and their business advisors is the process by which wage and hour (i.e., overtime) claims need to be approved in Maryland federal court in order to perfect the parties’ settlement.
