Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Job Titles - Managers

Great question. Many companies do exactly that, put the employee on a "salary" leading them to believe they are exempt, and forcing them to work overtime, without getting paid for that. The distinction for what is an exempt employee vs a non exempt is the key here.

If you are non exempt, the manager title is irrelevant to right to receive OT pay.
