An administrative assistant has filed a lawsuit against her employer for unpaid overtime pay. The administrative assistant claims her employer, Blackstone Group LP, required her to work 45-50 hours per week and owes her almost 2 years worth of overtime pay.
Her employer claims she was an “exempt” employee under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) because she was in a management position. The plaintiff claims she was misclassified her as management and is due overtime pay.
If you have worked more than 40 hours in one week for you employer and you have not received overtime pay (time and a half), you may be entitled to money damages.
