Home Appraisers and Unpaid Overtime Law

Home appraisers who were wrongfully denied overtime pay may be able to collect up to three years of unpaid overtime wages.

In general, home appraisers are entitled to receive time-and-a-half pay for every hour worked over 40 in a single workweek. To be ineligible for overtime pay as a home appraiser, he or she must earn a salary of at least $23,600 per year and fall under one of the federal overtime exemptions, which are typically reserved for administrative, professional and executive employees. Home appraisers who were denied overtime pay without meeting these requirements may have been subjected to an illegal wage and hour practice at the hands of their employer.

Unpaid Overtime Lawsuits: Home Appraisers

Home appraisers who were wrongfully denied overtime pay may have legal recourse in the form of an unpaid overtime lawsuit. For instance, in October 2010, home appraisers for JPMorgan Chase launched a putative collective action accusing the financial services company of misclassifying them as salaried workers and failing to pay overtime wages. The overtime case states that JPMorgan reclassified the home appraisers as hourly workers in the summer of 2010, but neglected to offer back pay for overtime worked during their time as salaried employees. Furthermore, the overtime case alleges that the home appraisers did not meet the professional exemption, as they did not exercise a substantial amount of personal judgment in their work, and therefore were entitled to overtime pay. If you suspect you have been misclassified or otherwise subjected to an illegal wage and hour practice, contact an overtime attorney today to learn your legal rights.
