Answer to Exempt employee travelling WAY too much.

Wage and Hour claim

Most employees are non exempt unless they are in professional or managerial positions. Many employers like to label employees such as yourself as exempt to avoid paying overtime. Furthermore, it appears your employer misrepresented your job duties at your time of hire, by failing to disclose the work required on weekends. If you would like to discuss this further please feel free to call me at 949-727-2630.

Answer to Three year contract and penalty

Enforcable Contract?

In order to answer your question, I would need to review your employment contract. There is a possibilty the terms of your contract are unconscionable and unenforcable. Futhermore, your employers failure to pay you the hourly pay you were promised, may result in a breach of your employment contract rendering it unenforcable. Finally, if it can be shown that you were induced to migrate to the U.S. based upon a misrepresntation, you may have a claim against your employer. You can contact me at 949-727-2630 or 909-680-1182 to schedule a consultation to discuss you situation futher.
