Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Me and My wife Manage a 90 unit apartment complex and are Salary employee's, my question is Do we qualify for overtime pay under our job titles?
2 Answers from Attorneys
Job titles have very little, in fact nearly nothing, to do with wage and hour law. Otherwise employers could just call everyone Senior Vice President of Trash Removal and evade overtime and all the other obligations owed non-exempt employees. You need to talk to an attorney about exactly what you do for how many hours under what level and kind of supervision and control.
Your title, and the fact that you are salaried, is not relevant to the determination of whether you are entitled to overtime pay. The key factor is the nature of your work.
It is not possible to evaluate your right to overtime in a public forum like this. You would need to have an interview with someone to evaluate your rights. A plaintiff-side labor lawyer should be able to do this in a fairly short consultation.
