According to the department of labor my title doesn’t mean anything and I should get overtime pay for all the hours over 40 hours a week. I put in about 55 hours a week no matter what. My title is IT manager and I have zero employees reporting to me. I do not make any major decisions in the company. What the law says that regardless of my title if I don’t have two people reporting to me and if I don’t make any major decisions on how the company works then I qualify. My manager and HR say I do not qualify because of my title and pay. Has anyone had to deal with this before?
