Looking for a Labor Lawyer...

I will have him contact the labor department. He has all of his time cards for the last 3 years.

This is a giant red flag- can't require that exempt employees clock in/out... we have a timesheet reporting system online at my work, but it allowed me to put in less than 40hrs- with no effect on my paycheck... back when I was exempt.

Then they decided to convert us to hourly, since AT&T was getting ther A$$ sued off for similar positions where they broke the labor laws for exempt employees. Been hourly since- but OT is not authorized. They use different online timesheet systems for hourly vs exempt.

Another red flag is requiring a specific start/stop time...

Those are the 2 that nailed Alyeska pipeline, IIRC... and as a bonus, the timesheets they made my father fill out were a perfect record to figure out how much back OT they owed...

WOW, I am glad that he had every one since he went "exempt". Thanks again for the input.

Complain to the United States Department of Labor. I got a letter from them and a nice check from the company that cheated me. It was in 1986.

A company cannot just compel everyone to be an exempt employee.
There are definitions in the Wage and Hours act that designate what an exempt employee can and cannot be. If your friend's job duties and responsibilities do not match, he is really non exempt and entitled to overtime. I would really question the legality of all employees being exempt.

In Colorado an employee can be terminated for any reason at any time except if it is for discrimination as defined in Federal law, age over 40, sex, religion, national origin. The employee is entitled to unemployment compensation. If discrimination, the employee would be entitled to damages and/or getting the equivalent job back

Now retired, I was a Chief Financial Officer with personnel reporting to me.
