American Tower Corporation, a nationwide telecommunications company, has paid nearly $290,000 in back wages to 167 employees to settle Department of Labor allegations that the company violated the overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
The department said the company misclassified 28 positions between May 1, 2001, and March 1, 2003, as being exempt from coverage under the FLSA. After an investigation by the department’s Wage and Hour Division, American Tower agreed to perform a self-audit to determine which employees had been misclassified and were due overtime.
Trudging through complicated FLSA regulations to determine whether your company has properly classified workers is a cumbersome task. A subscription to Compensation.BLR.com gives you instant answers to tough questions about the regulations, including the new overtime classification for nonexempt workers
