Pharmaceutical Sales Representative Case Goes to Supreme Court

November 29, 2011 | Franczek P.C. Filed Under: Overtime Exemptions

What Do You Mean the Job May No Longer Be Considered Exempt?

October 26, 2011 | Franczek P.C. Filed Under: Overtime Exemptions

My last blog entry on travel time only touched on one issue that may arise as we see more employees being asked to take on additional responsibilities and assignments in lieu of hiring new personnel. Indeed, consolidation of jobs or responsibilities can lead to a number of other potential wage and hour issues that can have a significant impact on employers. One such issue arises when an exempt employee takes on additional jobs or duties that are non-exempt. How should an employee be treated for overtime purposes if working both exempt and non-exempt positions?

Court: Cable Installers Employees, Not Independent Contractors

October 10, 2011 | Franczek P.C. Filed Under: Overtime Exemptions

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about an initiative by the U.S. Department of Labor, IRS and various state agencies to launch a coordinated crack-down on employers who misclassify employees as independent contractors.

The Company wants to give a little extra pay to employees who work on this important project. A number of these employees are classified as exempt.

Are Pharmaceutical Companies Losing the Exemption Battle?

August 18, 2011 | Franczek P.C. Filed Under: Overtime Exemptions

Recently, another group of pharmaceutical sales representatives successfully demonstrated that they are not exempt from overtime under the FLSA. Kuzinski, et al., v. Schering Corp Focusing on the administrative exemption, the District Court of Connecticut held that the sales representatives’ work was not directly related to Schering’s management or general business operations and they lacked the necessary exercise of discretion and independent judgment to meet the requirements of the exemption. The sales representatives did not directly sell pharmaceutical products, instead individualizing Schering’s canned sales pitch to promote certain products to identified customers. At the end of the day, the sales representatives simply used the core messages and promotional strategies developed by Schering, rather than developing those messages and strategies themselves.
