I recently file a suit against my employer for salaried exempt misclassification. The company had a meeting (approximately 15 warehouse managers). Some of the people in the meeting are above me. However, others are on my same level. At this meeting it was announced that they were being sued...
I am a salaried General Manager in food service. For the last 9 months we have cut hourly staff by 30%. Subsequently, I spend 5.5-6 hours of a 10 hour day in hourly positions (cash, server). Isn't this a violation of the exempt status, and if so, how do I go about recovering the OT owed?
Recently we have cut hourly labor by 1/4. Consequently, out of a 10 hour day, I work an hourly crew position 6 hours (cashier or floor server from 11AM to 5PM). Instead of GM of a restaurant, Im a cashier! I work 50 to 55 hours a week. Does this constitute Exempt Status??
