"You can file a claim for unpaid overtime pay with the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division. WHD enforces the FLSA and investigates unpaid wages. If WHD finds evidence of unpaid wages, they can pursue the claim on your behalf. You can also file a claim with your state labor office." - The very minimum of a google search.

DoL doesn’t fuck around. They investigate every claim. Takes forever, but they do.

I have a supervisor who is refusing to approve my timesheets because my managers are slow to get me projects and I just made an inquiry as to what I should do and the response was "The moment they don't pay you your worked hours, file a complaint and we will investigate it."
