Can I file an overtime complaint against my current employer?

You can file an overtime complaint against your current employer, but you might want to talk to an attorney beforehand to determine whether or not you have a legitimate case. It is against the law for an employer to retaliate against you but if you don't have a case, it might cause an uncomfortable work environment. The best thing is to have your attorney talk with the company's attorney first.
