White-collar salaries at risk of wage and hour scams; 200 AT&T managers go to trial over FLSA lawsuit.

Many employers try to get away with applying exemptions to white-collar workers, like the administrative or professional exemptions, and avoid paying employees their fair pay. But in the end they usually end up in court for that costly mistake.

Case in Point
200 front-line managers for AT&T in Connecticut are in trial this week for back wages and overtime pay. Most overtime class-action lawsuits settle out of court and do not end up in trial. When they do, it is sometimes clear-cut that the employer involved may owe back wages. In this case:

• Managers claim they did not have the authority to "hire and fire" and that management is not their main job duty 
• Managers in the suit seek 3 years of back pay with double damages.

Three class action lawsuits are pending against AT&T in Georgia, California and Connecticut.
