(LegalLaw247.com, December 06, 2011 ) New York, NY Class Action.org is investigating whether assistant branch managers at Comerica Bank were properly paid for their overtime hours. Often, assistant managers are misclassified into a group of employees who are ineligible for overtime pay, and therefore denied the time-and-a-half pay to which they are entitled.
If you were denied overtime pay as a Comerica assistant branch manager, you may be able file a claim to collect up to three years of unpaid overtime. To find out if you are eligible, visit http://www.classaction.org/comerica-assistant-branch-managers-denied-overtime.html for a free case review.
Assistant managers are among the types of employees who are commonly, and incorrectly, placed under the executive exemption in an employers attempt to avoid paying them overtime pay. To be a true executive, an employee must earn a salary of $455 per week; have the ability to hire and fire other employees; direct the work of two or more full-time employees; and manage an enterprise, department or subdivision. The employee must meet each of these requirements to be ineligible for overtime pay under the executive exemption; meeting just one or two criteria is not sufficient to exempt a worker from overtime pay. When an employee holds the title of assistant manager, but performs mostly non-managerial duties, they are generally entitled to overtime pay, as job duties, not job titles, are the main factor in determining whether an employee is entitled to overtime wages.
Because determining eligibility for overtime pay can be complex, Class Action.org is offering a free, online case review to Comerica Bank assistant branch managers who were denied overtime wages. While Comerica has not been implicated in any overtime lawsuit involving assistant branch managers, those who allege they were misclassified at this or any other financial institution may be able to make a claim for up to three years of unpaid overtime, an equal amount in liquidated damages, and attorneys fees and costs.
