The Bank of New York Mellon Overtime Lawsuits

The violations involve misclassifying employees as exempt from overtime pay, resulting in them not receiving “time-and-a-half” pay for their overtime hours. Workers designated as “non-exempt” employees must be paid time-and-a-half compensation for the hours they worked beyond 40 in a given workweek.

If these allegations made by employees in the financial industry are substantiated, they would point to violations of the FLSA and state labor laws, and the plaintiffs would be entitled to compensation for their unpaid overtime.

The positions at certain banks identified by Morgan & Morgan as wrongfully exempt from overtime pay are AML Compliance Analysts, A&R Analysts, Data Analysts, Financial Reporting Analysts, Implementation Analysts, Quality Assurance Specialists, and Solutions Analysts.

Under our analysis, employees in these positions at certain banks were incorrectly classified as exempt and, according to the FLSA, should be reclassified as non-exempt and be compensated for their past overtime hours.

If you have worked for a bank and think your position could be wrongfully deemed exempt from overtime pay, you might be eligible for compensation.
