FLSA DAMAGES
Minimum Wage & Overtime Damage Models
Live, interactive models for FLSA overtime cases — every assumption updates the full dataset in real time.
WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT
A model built for mediation, settlement, and trial
The model below is a live example of the type of analysis we build for FLSA overtime cases. Every workweek is analyzed independently using the entered assumptions — hourly rate, violation rate, liquidated damages multiplier, and statute of limitations period — and the entire dataset recalculates in real time as inputs change.
This example shows the core FLSA framework. The models we build for active cases go further: comparing methodologies side by side, applying period-specific and component-level discounts, modeling third-year willfulness exposure, and incorporating individualized class member start dates.

Litigation Assumptions
These are baseline case assumptions that define the initial damages calculation and may be adjusted through later discounts.
| Damages Start Date | |||
| Damages End Date | |||
| Interest End Date | |||
| Interest Rate | |||
| Hourly Rate | |||
Damage Component Discounts
Simple example of component-level recovery assumptions. 0% represents full recovery. Liquidated damages and interest are linked to backpay.
| Original | % Discount | Discounted | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Backpay | $7,907.50 | $7,907.50 | |
| Liquidated damages | $7,907.50 | $7,907.50 | |
| Total interest | $1,267.65 | $1,267.65 | |
| Damages Subtotal | $17,082.65 | $17,082.65 |
Global Discounts
Simple percentage discounts applied to damage total that reflect blanket risks such as decertification, jury perception, or judicial concerns.
| Global Discount 1 | ($0.00) | ||
| Global Discount 2 | ($0.00) | ||
| Global Discount 3 | ($0.00) | ||
| Global Discount Total | ($0.00) |
Final Damages
Damage totals calculated from available data. Examples of further analysis, including live extrapolation and allocation modeling, are available throughout this site.
| Original Damages | $17,082.65 | ||
| Total Discount | $0.00(0%) | ||
| Final Damage Total | $17,082.65 |
Weekly Damages
Each row of weekly data updates instantly to reflect the selected modeling assumptions.
