Repair technicians and service workers not receiving minimum wage or overtime
No matter what pay structure you are under, most repair technicians and service technicians are eligible to receive overtime compensation.
- If you are an hourly employee, you are non-exempt and eligible to receive overtime.
- If you are a salary employee, you are still entitled to receive compensation for time worked in excess of 40 hours per week.
- If you are paid on a piece rate basis, your hourly rate must be equal to or more than minimum wage. Therefore, if your work week is slow and you did not make enough to average minimum wage, then your employer must make up the difference. You are also eligible to receive overtime for time worked in excess of 40 hours per week.
Why your job duties need to be reviewed by a wage attorney.
No matter what level technician you may be, your actual job duties are the best determination of whether there has been a violation in your pay. Duties in this industry may include:
- Travel to customer location to diagnose, troubleshoot and repair equipment
- Install equipment and complete customer service calls
- Complete routes and service area calls and respond to emergency service calls
- Stock company delivery vehicle with needed parts and inventory.
