Medical, Dental & Veterinary Staff

In many busy doctors’ and dentists’ offices, as well as at hospitals and veterinary clinics, it is usually the medical staff, dental assistants, nurses, mental health technicians, and administrative/billing support employees who make sure that both patients and paper move on time. As a result, it’s not unusual for employees who work in the medical field to work long hours but not receive the full measure of their overtime wages.

Even if the job title your employer gave you was intended to create the impression that you should not receive overtime compensation—like physician’s assistant, patient or account manager, billing specialist, or veterinary technician—and even if you have been paid a salary, the law may still require your employer to pay overtime for your hours worked over Forty (40) each week.
