SUMMARY OF THE CASE:

Steavens et al. v. Electronic Data Systems Corp.:
Eastern District of Michigan, Case No. 2:07-cv-14536, assigned to Hon. Lawrence P. Zatkoff

This class action has been filed to recover unpaid overtime and retirement and 401(k) plan benefits credits for all current and former EDS salaried technical support employees who were misclassified by EDS as exempt during any period after October 23, 2004. “Technical support” employees are those whose primary duties were or are to install, maintain, and/or support computer software and/or hardware for EDS or its clients. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires covered employers to pay employees performing this type of work a premium of 1.5 times their regular rate of pay for hours worked in excess of 40 in a workweek. We contend that EDS improperly classified technical support workers as “exempt” from this requirement and in doing so denied employees their overtime pay in violation of the FLSA.

there are companies out there who will ask you to work more then an 8hr shift and tell you then it will be OT then come friday what extra time you have over 40 hrs. will depend on when you will be asked to punch out/go home.
example; if you have 45hrs on friday morning the supervisor will ask you to leave early (about 5 hrs. early) to show on payroll you only worked 40 hrs. for the week.

With EDS it also depends on if your Salaried OR Salaried with overtime. If your salaried, don't expect the OT on your check, if your salaried WITH overtime then you get paid the overtime.

Well, this is not typical from EDS only. Many, many companies in the US currently have or have had the same issue. This due to the lack of experience of many Human Resources (HR) professionals. One of the very basics in HR function is called 'job analysis'. Even that HR professionals get their HR certification, they never understand the concepts, they just care about memorizing questions to pass the test and get their certification. It is important, thou, that employees understand their job class and therefore overtime eligibility. You can be salaried or by the hour employee and your job be classified as non-exempt. Many companies tend to outsource their jobs for the sole reason that they have overtime issues and they want to get rid of these issues by transfering their employees to the outsourcing company, which I think is what happened to EDS. Client company may have communicated to EDS that their jobs were classed as exempt, when in reality it was not correct.
