Document your hours: Keep accurate records of all your hours, including overtime, as this will serve as essential evidence.

Review your wage statements: Regularly check your pay stubs to ensure they accurately reflect the hours worked and the wages owed.

Raise the issue internally: Report any discrepancies to your human resources department to allow them to correct any errors.

Consider joining the class action: If the issue is systemic, joining the lawsuit can provide a collective avenue for seeking redress.
