Are Family Office Employees Entitled to Overtime Pay? - BT Law Group, PLLC

From BT Law Group, PLLC - Are Family Office Employees Entitled to Overtime Pay? explores whether family office employees in Miami, Florida, and South Florida may qualify for overtime pay under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. The episode explains how FLSA coverage, job duties, pay structure, and exemptions can affect workers such as estate managers, personal assistants, executive assistants, household staff, housekeepers, cooks, nannies, drivers, accountants, bookkeepers, financial analysts, investment advisors, portfolio managers, IT support staff, security personnel, and Chief Financial Officers.

Listeners will learn how enterprise coverage and individual coverage may apply to single-family offices, multi-family offices, LLCs, trusts, and closely held corporations. The discussion breaks down key overtime rules under 29 U.S.C. § 207(a), the meaning of a fixed workweek, how the regular rate of pay is calculated, and why being paid a salary, receiving cash payments, or being treated as an independent contractor does not automatically eliminate wage protections.

This episode also covers common wage violations in family office settings, including unpaid overtime, off-the-clock work, misclassification, improper deductions, on-call time, and inaccurate records. BT Law Group, PLLC explains how exemptions under 29 C.F.R. Part 541 and 29 C.F.R. Part 552 may apply to roles such as household managers, estate managers, investment analysts, live-in domestic service employees, and domestic workers, while also addressing Florida’s minimum wage protections under Fla. Stat. § 448.110 and potential attorney’s fees under Fla. Stat. § 448.08.

Miami employment attorneys Jason D. Berkowitz and Anisley Tarragona of BT Law Group, PLLC discuss how family office employees can evaluate unpaid wage claims, liquidated damages, retaliation protections under 29 U.S.C. § 215(a)(3), filing options with the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division, and private lawsuits under 29 U.S.C. § 216(b).
