Benefits Analysts Denied Overtime Pay

Benefits analysts belong to a group of workers who commonly fall victim to employee misclassification, an overtime scam in which an employer illegally classifies a worker as exempt from overtime pay.

According to federal overtime law, an employee who does not meet a specific overtime exemption under the Fair Labor Standards Act is entitled to receive overtime compensation. Therefore, unless specifically exempt, benefits analysts should receive 1.5 times their regular rate of pay for every hour worked in excess of 40 during a single workweek. Still, some benefits analysts are unfairly denied overtime pay due to illegal employment practices, such as employee misclassification.
