(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 07, 2011 ) New York, NY – Class Action.org is investigating whether Wells Fargo business sales consultants were properly paid for their overtime hours. If the company improperly classified these employees as ineligible to collect overtime wages, legal recourse may be available.

According to a California class action lawsuit, Wells Fargo misclassified misclassified its business sales consultants as commissioned sales people who were not entitled to overtime pay. However, the suit claims, they do not earn sales commissions because they make a salary in addition to a bonus which is less than 50% of their total weekly earnings. The overtime lawsuit further contends that these employees do not qualify as outside salespeople because they must initiate their phone and web sales calls at the companyÂ’s banking locations.
Business sales consultants and other employees who are wrongfully classified as exempt sales people are not receiving the overtime wages to which they are entitled. Potentially, business sales consultants who have been misclassified may be able to file a claim for up to three years of unpaid overtime wages, an equal amount in liquidated damages, and attorneysÂ’ fees. There is a time limit for filing unpaid overtime claims, so do not hesitate to visit Class Action.org for a free evaluation of your claim. Employers are prohibited by overtime law from retaliating against employees who exercise their legal rights.
