An unpaid overtime class action lawsuit was filed against Target, alleging that the retailer misclassified certain employees as exempt from overtime.
Plaintiff Bobby R. filed the unpaid overtime class action lawsuit on behalf of himself and all other individuals classified as an executive team leader-asset protection. Every store allegedly has one such employee who is paid with a salary, โirrespective of the number of hours worked by them.โ
Bobby and other Class Members were allegedly required to work over 40 hours a week and yet deemed them exempt employees, not entitled to overtime pay. The unpaid overtime class action lawsuit claims that the job often required employees to work well over 50 hours a week.
Additionally, executive team members allegedly often performed the same role as hourly employees and performed tasks such as monitoring security cameras and walking throughout the store patrolling for theft. Bobby and others were also โrequired by [Target] to work on the floor of the retail stores throughout their shift each workday in order to work alongside non-exempt employees,โ the wage and hourย class action lawsuit stated.
The unpaid overtime class action lawsuit claimed that thousands of employees have suffered from manager misclassification and countless hours of unpaid overtime. Target has allegedly committed several labor law violations and even โfailed to maintain any record of the time actually workedโ by Bobby and prospective Class Members.
