Daily Herald | Workers sue Home Depot to get overtime

Three former employees - Gary Ottaviano of Far Northwest suburban Marengo, Jenny Macias of Far Southwest suburban Shorewood, and Cruz Plaza of Algonquin were all assistant store managers who Home Depot said were exempt from state overtime laws.

Home Depot's policy, according to the suit, was to fire assistant store managers if they worked less than 11 hours a day. The assistant store managers were also not paid overtime during their training period of two to eight weeks.

Though they were considered managers, the assistant store managers had no power to hire or fire employees, and had no input to staffing.

The suit estimates there are hundreds if not thousands of people who would qualify for the legal class as assistant store managers.
