Many employers work under the misguided notion that salaried employees are not entitled to overtime. Just because you are a salaried employee does not mean you are not entitled to overtime.
Whether you are entitled to overtime depends on the type of work you do, not the job title you are given or how you are paid (a salary vs. hourly).
If you have been classified as a manager, you rightly should expect to perform the duties of a manager — making decisions and overseeing the work of employees working under you. If you are classified as a manager, and your primary responsibilities consist of stocking shelves, ringing up cash registers, and similar tasks, you may have a misclassification claim.
Since managers can be classified as “exempt” or not eligible for overtime, employers will give some employees the manager title to avoid paying overtime. If you are an exempt employee required to perform the duties of a nonexempt employee, our attorneys are here to stand up for your rights. This can be a complicated area, and our consultation is free with no obligation.
