CNN Money Names the 5 Industries In Which Employees are not Paid Overtime Properly

Just because an employee is paid a salary, doesn’t mean the employee should not receive overtime. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) mandates that all employers pay overtime to all employees unless the employee fits into very narrow exceptions. In many cases, employers intentionally or accidentally treat employees as though they are not entitled to overtime even though the employee should get overtime.

CNN Money posted an article identifying the five industries in which employees are not paid overtime properly. If you are an employer in one of these industries, make sure you are complying with Federal and State wage laws. If you are an employee in one of these industries, make sure you are not being taken advantage of by your employer.
