Electronic banking administrator files $1 million lawsuit against Community National Bank for overtime wages

An employee has filed a federal lawsuit against Community National Bank for $1 million in back overtime wages. He claims he was misclassified as an "exempt" employee - meaning that he is not eligible for overtime pay for working more than 40 hours a week - and that he should have been "nonexempt."

The employee was hired in 2007 as an operations assistant at the bank. In the lawsuit, he claims that as "operations assistant," he usually arrived at work at 9 a.m. and worked until 8 or 9 p.m. He also spent time on the weekends to troubleshoot computer issues, but claims he did not get receive overtime pay.

In 2008, the bank employee was given a new title, "electronic banking administrator." This was just a title change, he claims, and he continued to complain about not receiving overtime pay. He claims that he was supervised by management daily and that his job duties required him to follow all rules set by the bank.

According to the FLSA, many employees who work in the banking, loan, mortgage and insurance industries are eligible for overtime pay.

There are different tests for employees to fall under the administrative or professional exemptions. One requirement of each exemption is that employees make at least $455 a week.
