Warren, Brown Open Investigation into 23 Companies' Overtime Avoidance Practices and Possible Wage Theft

Press Release

"Firms appear to have systematically misclassified workers that spend the majority of their time performing manual labor tasks as managers--using titles like "director of first impressions' and "assistant bingo manager' -- to deny them billions of dollars in overtime pay… By "provid(ing) salaries just above the federal cutoff to frontline workers and mislabel(ling) them as managers,' (each company) appears to have committed wage theft by evading its statutory duty to pay workers what they have earned."
