this is a very difficult area in labor law to examine. Employers are using labor laws to have exempt employees. Employers are trying to put sales representatives and IT personnelin that category of exempt employees. Exempt employees are not covered by the normal hour wage requirements.A good example would be the IT personnel who fix computers at night and on the weekends. They are not subject to overtime requirements. We can review your situation and give you a legal opinion. We would need a timeline of what has happened and a statement setting forth your job requirements. We would also need copies of the pertinent section of the employee manual. We would then provide you with a written legal opinion as to the merits of your position.
