Massachusetts High Court Upholds $8.8M Judgment, Finding Retailer Violated Overtime Pay Laws
“Simply put, a sales employee’s commissions are one type of compensation, and overtime and Sunday pay are separate types of compensation that require employers to make additional payments to employees. By attempting to allocate amounts owed to its sales employees in commissions toward their overtime and Sunday premium draws, Jordan’s did not provide its sales employees with separate and additional overtime and Sunday pay, thereby violating the overtime and Sunday pay statutes,” Justice Serge Georges, Jr., said.
