Overtime misclassification is one of the most expensive HR compliance errors. In the US alone, the Department of Labor collected $274 million in back wages from overtime violations in fiscal year 2022. Common mistakes include incorrectly classifying non-exempt employees as exempt managers, failing to count all hours worked (including pre/post-shift duties), and not applying the correct state-specific rules on top of federal FLSA requirements.
