So, I have a question about whether or not I qualify for overtime. I work in Southern New Jersey at a Seaside Boardwalk Resort in the position of Inventory and Receiving. I am a seasonal employee, so I work around 8 months out of the year. I've held this job for several years now. I don't want to give away too much info in case this is seen by someone I work with, hence the throwaway account. I highly doubt this would happen, but better safe then sorry. When I first applied there, I was told my position “didn't qualify for overtime due to an exception” and originally I took this at face value. But after being expected to put in 60 to 70 hour work weeks, and finding out that we are some of the only employees who don't get overtime pay. I'm beginning to have serious doubts. Now, I've done some research on my own, and for the life of me, I can't figure out what law would exempt my employer from paying me overtime. That being said, I'm not a wage lawyer, and I don't have the resources to find complicated loopholes in state law. Perhaps my employee knows of one that I'm missing, or perhaps there was an exemption at some time that has since been removed. Either way, I'm not seeing it. The only thing close that I found was for sales associates who make 50% or more of their wages from tips/gratuities. I do not make any money from tips. But I'm beginning to think my employer is trying to claim that I am in the same position as a waiter/busser, which I am not. So, if there's anybody on here with some knowledge of NJ State Wage Law who might be able to answer my question. I'd really appreciate it. I'd like to be fully confident in my position before I make any attempt at escalating this either withing the company, or with the state labor board. I appreciate greatly anybody who takes the time to read this and might have some helpful input to offer, and if you need any other info, I'd be more than happy to provide it. Thanks!
