Store “managers” aren’t always really exempt from overtime, as numerous national class actions are demonstrating. The class has been certified in a nationwide action filed against discount store operator Dollar General Stores, Ltd. on behalf of all current and former Dollar General Store managers who worked at any time since March 14, 1999, who "regularly" worked more than 50 hours per week and either (1) "customarily" supervised less than two employees at one time; (2) lacked authority to hire or discharge store employees without approval of an area manager; or (3) "sometimes" worked in non-managerial positions at Dollar General stores other than the one that they managed. Qualified employees should join the action as soon as possible to prevent forfeiture of benefits because of the operation of federal statutory deadlines.
