(LegalLaw247.com, April 10, 2012 ) New York, NY The attorneys working with IQOvertime.com are looking to hear from loan officers who were denied overtime pay. It has been alleged that certain financial institutions have violated federal wage and hour law by denying time-and-a-half wages to eligible loan officers who work more than 40 hours a week. If you have been denied overtime pay as a loan officer, you may have legal recourse if your employer violated applicable overtime laws.

To be ineligible to collect overtime, a loan officer, or any other employee, must be found exempt from overtime law. This means that the employee must meet a strict set of criteria which disqualifies them from overtime pay. For instance, employees who are exempt executives must be paid on a salary basis and receive at least $455 per week; manage the company, a department or subdivision; regularly direct the work of two or more full-time employees; and have the authority or influence to hire or fire other employees. Likewise, exempt administrators must earn a salary of at least $455 per week; perform office or non-manual work directly related to business operations; and exercise discretion and independent judgment in significant matters.
A common overtime law violation, employee misclassification occurs when an employer intentionally places an employee who is eligible for overtime pay, or non-exempt, into an exempt category, such as the administrative exemption. Employees, including loan officers, who have been misclassified may be able to make a claim for their unpaid overtime wages, dating back two to three years.
