BaghdadiLaw’s experience in overtime wage claims

BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to overtime pay claims, with practical knowledge of establishing hours actually worked and reconciling them with the hours paid through payroll. We handle overtime claims where hours actually worked differ from pay received. We address extended hours, shifts and recorded work outside normal schedules, connecting the claim to instructions, records and applicable employment rules.

We examine attendance, instructions and payroll, calculate supported amounts and prepare the demand. We handle disputed hours and payment evidence in negotiation, settlement and court proceedings.

We build the calculation period by period and address disputes over hours, authorisation or rates. We handle demands, negotiation and representation, explaining how overtime relates to allowances and previous payments so each entitlement remains distinct.

Omar Al-Baghdadi leads our team with more than 30 years of legal experience. From your first consultation through the agreed legal work, you stay in direct contact with our team.

Frequently asked questions

Before requesting overtime wage claims advice.

What records support an overtime claim?

Provide work schedules, attendance, instructions, payroll and the employment terms. Identify the hours claimed and any payments already made, then check qualifying work and exclusions before calculating an amount.

Should a settlement or final release be signed immediately?

No document should be signed without understanding the rights released, amounts included, confidentiality, future restrictions, payment timing, and applicable mandatory rules.

What proves unpaid wages or benefits?

The contract, payroll, bank records, time and leave records, commission terms, expense evidence, messages, and employer calculations may all be relevant.

How are fees set?

By the question, documents, urgency and deliverable. We confirm scope and fees before work; additional work is agreed separately.

How is my information handled?

Confidentially under professional and privacy obligations, subject to legally required or permitted disclosures. Agree the secure handling method before sharing originals or highly sensitive information.

Does advice include representation?

Representation begins with an agreed engagement covering the responsible lawyer, forum, work and fees. Filing, appearances, notarisation and negotiation are included when agreed. Outcomes depend on the facts, evidence, applicable law and decisions of the competent authority.
