Big Boy Restaurants International, LLC is on the receiving end of a proposed collective action filed by a former employee who claims he and other general managers were misclassified as exempt from Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) overtime requirements. The plaintiff alleges he was promoted to a manager position at one of the defendant’s Big Boy restaurant locations in September 2017, after which he no longer received premium overtime wages despite working a minimum of 50 hours per week. According to the case, instead of being engaged in mostly managerial duties, managers performed essentially the same duties as non-exempt employees, such as cooking and cleaning, and should have been entitled to overtime pay.
