? Misclassified as what? If you are referring to a job subject to overtime that was improperly classified as an exempt position, then the answer is possibly yes. The law requires overtime payment for non-exempt employees even when an employer mis-classifies as exempt. If you are referring to some internal company classification that has nothing to do with legal requirements for pay then the answer is probably no.
