Help! I miscalculated overtime pay.

If you accidentally underpaid overtime, your employee could file a claim. Rocket Copilot can answer your questions about how to get ahead of this issue and avoid a legal dispute.

Made an error in overtime pay? Rocket Copilot is helping employers sort it out with questions like these

  • How far back can employees claim unpaid overtime?
  • What penalties can I face for underpaying overtime?
  • Am I required to pay overtime for unauthorized extra hours?

Uh-oh, I classified someone as exempt—and they weren’t!

Employees who are mistakenly classified as exempt vs non-exempt can claim back pay for missed breaks and wages. Rocket Copilot can answer your questions about wage and hour requirements so you  avoid costly claims and lawsuits.

Confused about employee classification? Other employers have asked Rocket Copilot these questions

  • Am I required to pay overtime to salaried employees?
  • How far back can someone claim unpaid wages for misclassification?
  • How do job duties affect exempt status?

Yikes! We were too short-staffed and my employees missed their breaks.

Even unintentional break violations can lead to penalties or wage claims. Ask Rocket Copilot now how you can make things right.

Concerned about break compliance? You’re not alone—other employers asked questions like these

  • What happens if an employee files a break violation complaint?
  • Can employees waive their right to a break?
  • What are the penalties for missed or late breaks?
