Q: I want to know if I entitled to overtime if Im titled as a salaried exempt employee. (Manager title. )
I work overtime daily and even the weekends. My title is manager but my duties do not reflect the title. I have no Managerial responsibilities at all. I “ supervise “ 3 employees, but have no say in hiring or firing. I am basically the same, but I have a title and am exempt from OT.
A: Your title, as a manager, has no bearing on whether you’re entitled to overtime under the fair labor standards act. The question is whether you meet an exemption under the law based upon facts. For instance, if you are a salaried employee and supervise two or more full-time employees and direct their work could be the application of the executive exemption. But much more facts are needed. I suggest you reach out and have a consultation with an employment lawyer to go over your work and lawyers like myself will offer a free assessment and free consultation.
