My wife has worked at her current employer for 15 years. She has steadily risen through the ranks of the company in a very male dominated industry. She got promoted to a manager position about 4 years ago. They gave her a raise and made her salary at approx 55k a year. She works at least an hour or two of overtime every day with no pay. She recently transferred to another branch where instead of supervising just her area (scheduling), she now is supervising customer service, processing and the warehouse, which is all of her branch, however she isn'ta branch manager or even an assistant manager. She hasn't recieved a raise since having her responsibilities increased. A few months ago her company was bought out by some umbrella corporation. Last week after a meeting she was told that she was made salary wrongly and that the only people who can be salaried are people with hiring and firing capabilities. She sits in every interview and gives recommendations on hiring and firing in the branch although her boss has final say so. Her boss has also told her she will only be allowed to work 4 hours of OT a week. She has to work 10-15 to get her job done. She was told the VP moved her to salary to avoid paying OT for all the hours she worked. If she gets paid for all the OT she actually works it will benefit us....as long as her hours dont get cut. Is there a case here? Should we just move on and find her a new job? We are both pretty unfamiliar with labor law and don't know what the next step should be.
