Can My Employer Retaliate Against Me for Seeking To Get Overtime?

My employer does not like that I am looking to get paid for the overtime they made me work. Can they fire me or make trouble for me at work for trying to get paid for my overtime?

By Deskin Law Firm
It is unlawful for anybody to fire you or otherwise discriminate against you for filing a complaint or lawsuit for overtime, or for testifying or planning to testify for an overtime lawsuit. If your employer retaliates against you they may be forced by the court to reinstate you, promote you, pay you lost wages, or pay you a lump sum of money.

How do you determine if you are entitled to overtime?
