A Huddle House, Inc. is on the receiving end of a proposed collective action filed in Mississippi federal court that claims the company misclassified its assistant managers as exempt from overtime pay. The plaintiff in the suit says she often worked “as many overtime hours as necessary” – which the complaint claims was between 50 and 60 hours per week – to provide her assigned restaurant with its required coverage. She argues that most of her job duties were the same as non-exempt employees’ and claims that because she did not have the authority to hire, fire, or discipline other employees, she should not have qualified for a managerial exemption under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
