Sherwin Williams Assistant Managers Overtime Claims

Sherwin Williams assistant managers who were denied overtime pay may be able to file a claim seeking up to three years of unpaid overtime.

Were You Misclassified as an Assistant Manager?

In a common overtime abuse, an employer will place an employee who is eligible for overtime pay into a category in which they don’t belong and which deprives them of their right to overtime pay. For instance, an employer may title a cashier “assistant manager” even though he or she performs no managerial duties in an attempt to classify them as “executives,” who are ineligible for overtime pay. However, overtime law states that job titles never determine a worker’s eligibility for overtime pay. 

Job duties and the manner in which an employee is compensated determine whether an employee is entitled to overtime pay. The following questions can help determine whether an assistant manager should receive overtime wages. 

• Do you receive a salary of at least $455 per week? 
• Do you have the ability to hire and fire other employees? 
• Do you regularly direct at least two full-time employees? 
• Do you manage the company, a department or subdivision?

If you answered “no” to any one of these questions, you are not a true executive and may have been wrongfully classified as an employee who is not entitled to overtime pay. To find out if you can file a claim seeking unpaid overtime, complete our free case review form today.
