Assistant Managers Who Were Denied Overtime Pay May Be Able To Participate in an Unpaid Overtime Lawsuit

The overtime attorneys working with IQOvertime.com are available to review claims from assistant managers who were denied overtime pay after working more than 40 hours a week. Generally, assistant store managers are entitled to overtime pay unless they meet one of the specific federal overtime exemptions, which are typically reserved for professional, administrative and executive employees. If you are working as an assistant manager in a retail store or similar establishment, visit http://www.iqovertime.com/retail-assistant-managers-unpaid-overtime--41091.html today to learn more about your legal right to collect overtime pay. 

Assistant managers who were denied overtime pay may have been subjected to an illegal wage and hour practice known as employee misclassification. A common overtime scam, employee misclassification occurs when an employer intentionally misclassifies an assistant manager or other non-exempt employee as exempt from overtime pay. According to federal overtime law, eligibility for overtime pay is determined by a worker’s job duties, rather than their job title.  Therefore, when an assistant manager is performing non-managerial job duties, such as stocking shelves, operating cash registers or answering phone calls, they should receive overtime pay, regardless of their job title. 

Misclassified assistant managers may be able to participate in an overtime lawsuit to collect up to three years of unpaid overtime, an equal amount in liquidated damages and attorneys’ fees.
