Scott Cole & Associates - Class Action Law Firm - Articles - Overtime Pay in the Real Estate Services Industry

Real estate services personnel perform valuable services to buyers, sellers and lenders, but do so within a highly-regulated environment. Anti-discrimination, equal access lending and other laws dictate exactly how real estate services employees perform their work and, for this reason, these workers are generally entitled to overtime pay. The law dictates who gets overtime, not your employer!

If you are a salaried worker in the real estate industry, but are unsure whether you are entitled to overtime pay, just answer these questions:

If you answered “Yes” to both of these questions, you are likely entitled to overtime pay. You may also be entitled to compensation for meal and rest periods and various penalties against your current or former employer. If you worked the hours, you should be paid for them.

The legal system is set up to “level the playing field” and give workers the power to correct workplace abuses. Scott Cole & Associates has served California’s workforce for many years as one of the state’s most respected workers’ rights law firms and has recovered massive and record-setting settlements for employees for workplace abuses.
