Jobs in the mortgage industry require a lot of long hours and hard work. Unfortunately, mortgage industry employees also succumb to poor pay practices in which employers try to cheat them out of the wages to which they are legally entitled. Mortgage loan officers, underwriters, originators, consultants and processors are frequently denied compensation by misclassification or off-the-clock work. Common mortgage industry pay violations include:
- Exemption Status Misclassification - Many employees who are paid by salary or commission are improperly classified as exempt.
- Off-the-Clock Work - Some employers attempt to only allow overtime if it has been pre-approved. However, in the mortgage industry, it is not always possible to avoid working overtime.
- Rest and Meal Break Violations - Many mortgage employees feel that they must work through their break or meal periods in order to make deadlines and complete their work. It is an employer's responsibility to ensure that employees receive proper breaks and are paid for all time worked, even if it is during a scheduled break period.
