Assistant Managers Sue Home Depot for Overtime

Former assistant managers filed a class action against Home Depot seeking overtime pay.  The suit claims that Home Depot deliberately misclassified the assistant managers as exempt from overtime.  The assistant managers also claim that they were regularly required to work a minimum of 55 hourse a week and were not paid time and a half for those hours over forty.
