A non-exempt “manager associate” with Hertz has sued the car rental company for alleged violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act. According to the suit, the company refused to pay her overtime, yet forced her to work off the clock so that she could finish her job duties – or else face discipline and possible termination. She claims she was misclassified as an exempt executive despite the fact that she didn’t typically perform managerial duties. Even with her “manager associate” title, the plaintiff spent most of her time helping with customer service, doing paperwork and washing vehicles, according to the suit. She is hoping the suit will cover all manager associates and associate managers who worked for Hertz anywhere in the country within the last three years and who worked more than 40 hours per week without receiving overtime.
