Home appraisers belong to a group of employees who are most susceptible to employee misclassification and other overtime abuses. For instance, in October 2010, a group of home appraisers working for JPMorgan Chase initiated a putative collection action accusing their employer of failing to pay overtime wages and misclassifying them as salaried workers. Allegedly, the home appraisers were reclassified as hourly workers in the summer of 2010, but failed to receive time-and-a-half compensation for overtime worked during their time as salaried employees. Furthermore, the home appraisers claim that they should not qualify under the learned professionals overtime exemption, as they do not exercise a significant amount of personal judgment in their jobs, and therefore are entitled to overtime pay. The plaintiffs in the unpaid overtime case are seeking up to three years of unpaid overtime, as well as interest and attorneys’ fees.

If you have been denied overtime pay as a home appraiser, you may be able to participate in an unpaid overtime lawsuit to collect financial compensation.
