We live in Oklahoma. My husband was terminated from his position as Supervisor with a large grocery chain January 2000. He had been a supervisor there for 4-5 years. Worked there for a total of 8 years in various departments and in those positions was paid hourly with overtime. As a supervisor, he was paid salary and was expected to work at the minimum 12-14 hour shifts for 4 days per week. He was never paid any overtime or given any other compensatory leave. The Supervisors did not clock in or out since they were on salary, so we don't have actual proof of his extra hours, although it is the norm for this company and the people there are still pulling these hours. Often, he had to work these hours for 6 days per week. My question is this, is he entitled to overtime pay for all those hours, how far can he go back to collect, and what is the normal compensation for this? I appreciate any help. Also is it better for the Labor Department to handle this or obtain a private attorney? THank you,
