Misclassification of employees as exempt from overtime is a common violation of overtime laws. The job title of manager does not dictate that the position is exempt from overtime requirements.
So-called first level managers at AT & T have filed a class action lawsuits seeking more than a billion dollars of unpaid overtime from AT & T. The lawsuit claim that AT & T misclassified their positions as exempt from overtime, arguing essentially that they neither possess nor exercise enough discretion and judgment to qualify for the "executive" exemption to the overtime requirement.
