In some cases, people in the retail industry receive lofty titles but essentially perform the same duties as people working hourly. For instance, a retail store or similar outlet may hire you as an assistant manager and pay you a regular salary, but you may find that you perform the same work as a cashier or sales associate.
Sometimes, retail store owners hire people on a salary basis to avoid paying overtime. Rather than hiring several people to fulfill their business needs, they hire one and expect them to work as much as the job requires.
If you’re working a job and find that you handle many of the same duties as hourly workers, you may be underpaid, especially if you consistently work overtime. Schedule a free case evaluation with a labor and employment lawyer at Morgan & Morgan to find out more.
