Accountants Entitled to Overtime Pay

Even though accountants are always classified as exempt and not paid overtime when they work over 40 hours per week, they are very likely to be entitled to overtime pay. Most accounting firms classify all accountants as exempt from receiving overtime, regardless of the job they actually perform. Non-licensed accountants are very likely entitled to overtime pay. This appears to be an industry-wide epidemic. As an example, a Federal Court in New York just ruled that certain accounting employees for Deloitte & Touche can receive Court authorized notice of an overtime lawsuit that covers the following job titles nationwide: Audit Assistants, Audit Senior Assistants, Audits in Charge and Audit Seniors. Non-Licensed accountants should call the firm for a free consultation regarding overtime pay.
