If you google dol overtime settlement you can find hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements very quickly We cannot tell from here. Most of them were through the misuse of the outside sales exception (financial services, mortage industry and others), although other exempt exceptions have have been involved.
The other two were inside sales people and with their commissions they were more highly compensated and did receive their 1 ½ overtime back pay Past that, maybe your employer is a fool or maybe the employer is a knave In fact, the sales manager had been receiving about ten hours a week in overtime benefits for the past several years.
When you eventually leave this employer, and you probably will, file a wage claim on your way out the door
