What Unpaid Wage / Overtime Claims Can Be Brought Being misclassified means being put in the category of people who don't get paid overtime when you should actually get overtime pay. Most people understand that if you are an "exempt" employee, you don't get overtime. However, many people think that being paid a salary is the same thing as being "exempt." It is not the same thing. To be exempt, you have to get a salary and do the duties of an exempt employee. These duties most often fall into one of three categories of duties: Unless you get a salary and perform exempt duties, you are entitled to overtime. Being misclassified and not paid overtime in accordance with the law can result in thousands of dollars of unpaid wages and overtime. Review the "Are You Exempt" page for a more detailed discussion on what it means to be exempt or go to the "Exempt States of Specific Jobs" page to see if your job is discussed.
