Overtime Violations
Protecting Nurses from Unlawful Work Hours
At Nursing Law Protection, we are committed to standing up for nurses who are being overworked, undercompensated, or forced into illegal overtime schedules. If you’re a nurse facing unfair labor practices, especially regarding overtime, we’re here to help.
What Are Overtime Violations?
Overtime violations occur when healthcare employers:
- Require nurses to work beyond regulated hours without proper rest or compensation.
- Fail to pay overtime wages (usually time and a half) after a certain number of hours worked per day or week.
- Pressure nurses into on-call shifts or extra hours that go undocumented or unpaid.
- Ignore legal limits on the number of consecutive shifts or total hours per week.
Your Rights as a Nurse
Whether you work in a hospital, clinic, or care facility, you have the right to:
Fair compensation for all hours worked, including overtime.
Refuse mandatory overtime in many states.
Rest between shifts to ensure your health and patient safety.
Report violations without retaliation.
Real Impact, Real Support
At Nursing Law Protection, we go beyond just informing — we act. Our support has helped countless nurses across the country recover unpaid overtime wages, stop unsafe scheduling, and hold employers accountable for labor violations.
We’ve seen real change happen when nurses are empowered to speak up — from policy reforms within hospitals to successful legal claims resulting in thousands of dollars in recovered compensation. Whether you’re being forced into back-to-back shifts, denied proper rest, or not paid for the extra hours you’ve worked, you’re not alone. We understand the risks and stress nurses face, which is why we offer confidential, compassionate support backed by legal expertise.
