| MINIMUM WAGES AND OVERTIME Lawsuits under the Fair Labor Standards Act—sometimes called “wage and hour litigation”—is a specialty of Cook & Kitts, PLLC. Our lawyers have litigated dozens of FLSA cases within this niche specialty. We have litigated cases on behalf of individual plaintiffs, as well as on behalf of entire classes of employees in collective actions. On the defense side, numerous employers have benefited from hiring our firm's attorneys. While the minimum wage and overtime requirements of the FLSA are simple on their face, the body of law and regulation constituting the exemptions to Act are convoluted and technical. Simply put, the FLSA has vast implications for nearly every employee in the United States, regardless of job duties, educational level, or other specifics. Founding partner Zach Kitts is the author of the commentary to the FLSA sections in the United States Code Service (29 U.S.C.S. §201 et seq.) published by LexisNexis, and is a frequent speaker at Continuing Legal Education Seminars on topics related to the FLSA.
