Many salaried employees who are classified as "managers" are improperly classified as exempt. To be properly classified as an exempt employee, a manager must be paid a salary of no less than twice the minimum wage; and must supervise (which generally must include the power to hire and fire) two or more employees; and must customarily exercise independent discretion; and must spend more than 50% of the time performing those managerial tasks, rather than the same sort of work as their hourly underlings.
This is what often happens: Employers will simply add a small amount of managerial authority to a crew member, call that crew member the manager, and put them on a salary. While there is nothing wrong with doing that, it does not excuse the employer from paying overtime if that salaried worker then works more than 8 hours per day or 40 hours per week. When improperly classified employees work long hours, they may be entitled to overtime pay reaching back four years.
How Much Money is Involved?
If the hours are long enough, the liability can easily exceed a year's worth of ordinary salary.
