Just because your employer is a famous rock star, doesn't mean you should be denied your overtime wages. Employee misclassification is very common, and a lawsuit against Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich proves that you should not assume your employer knows or follows the labor laws.
Ulrich, lead drummer for the band Metallica, has been sued by a former personal assistant for employee misclassification and wage and hour violations. The former assistant, who worked for Ulrich from 2001 until 2009, claims he often worked up to 70 hours a week at Ulrich's studio and home as a personal assistant, scheduler, chauffeur and other duties.
In the wage and hour lawsuit, the employee also claims that while on tour with Ulrich he would work up to 80 hours and stayed on-call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The former employee also claims he never received bonuses that Ulrich promised him under oral agreements.
