Employees say they’re owed overtime — Former GoDaddy

Plaintiffs say they shouldn’t have been categorized as exempt and are owed overtime.

Three former* GoDaddy employees have sued the firm, saying they ought to be paid overtime for work in excess of 40 hours per week.

Sal Careaga, Joshua Berry and Amanda Collins each worked in the Website Design Department, which designs websites for GoDaddy clients. The plaintiffs claim they worked more than 40 hours in some workweeks, but were not paid time-and-a-half.

As stated by the suit (pdf), GoDaddy classified the employees as exempt. Still, the plaintiffs argue that they ought to not be exempt employees. They also claim they do not fall under the overtime exemption for Computer Professionals.

Mesa, Arizona law firm Jackson White is representing the plaintiffs. It seeks to represent other employees in the same division that it believes are owed overtime.

A GoDaddy representative stated the firm does not comment on pending litigation.

*Based on a LinkedIn profile, one of the plaintiffs might still be employed by the firm.
