‘Manager’ is in my job title, but I don’t manage people. Am I entitled to overtime?
An employee at a financial institution questions their entitlement to overtime pay despite having 'manager' in their job title. The determination of whether they qualify for overtime depends on their actual duties rather than their title. Both federal and provincial laws generally exclude true managers from overtime pay, but the employee's lack of supervisory responsibilities may entitle them to compensation for extra hours worked.
- ▪The employee works for a financial institution and is salaried without commissions.
- ▪Under both federal and provincial laws, actual job duties determine eligibility for overtime pay, not job titles.
- ▪The employee does not manage anyone and requires sign-off from supervisors, which may indicate they are entitled to overtime pay.
