(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 03, 2011 ) New York, NY – Escrow officers are generally entitled to overtime pay when working more than 40 hours a week, according to IQ Overtime.com. Overtime law states that all eligible employees must receive 1.5 times their regular rate for every hour worked over 40 in a single workweek. Because most escrow officers are eligible to collect overtime wages, they may have legal recourse when denied overtime pay. If you have been denied overtime pay as an escrow officer, learn more about your legal rights by visiting http://www.iqovertime.com/escrow-officers-unpaid-overtime--42708.html today. Escrow officers who suspect their overtime rights have been violated can also take advantage of the free case review provided on the site.

To be ineligible to collect overtime pay, workers must perform certain duties which would make them “exempt” from overtime wages. According to overtime law, some of these exempt duties may include hiring and firing other employees, managing a department or subdivision, and supervising two or more workers. Most escrow officers, however, perform non-exempt job duties such as collecting facts from buyers and sellers, processing escrow transactions and disbursing funds. Therefore, in regard to overtime pay, escrow officers performing these and similar tasks should typically receive time-and-a-half pay for every hour worked over 40 in a single workweek.

When an escrow officer is denied overtime pay in violation of overtime law, they may have legal recourse. By filing an overtime lawsuit, an escrow officer can make a claim for up to three years of unpaid overtime; in some instances, the escrow officer may also be entitled to liquidated damages, which match the amount of unpaid overtime wages recovered.
