A former employee of Captiva MVP Restaurant Partners, LLC has filed suit against the company, which operates over 50 PDQ restaurants nationwide, claiming the defendant failed to pay its assistant managers proper overtime wages. The plaintiff alleges assistant managers perform “the same non-exempt duties” as hourly employees but are classified as exempt from receiving time-and-a-half premium wages for the hours they work over 40 each week. According to the complaint, the plaintiff and other assistant managers “do not have discretion or authority to make any decisions with respect to matters of significance” and must adhere to the defendant’s set policies and procedures. As a result, the suit argues, they should be classified as non-exempt employees and receive overtime.
