How It Works
Back pay is compensation owed for past work that was underpaid or unpaid. Under the FLSA, employers who willfully violate wage laws may owe liquidated damages equal to the back pay amount (effectively doubling the penalty). The statute of limitations is 2 years for non-willful violations and 3 years for willful. Interest may also accrue on unpaid wages depending on state law.
