Both California and Federal law require that employers pay "non-exempt" employees a premium rate of 1.5 times their base rate of pay for all overtime hours worked. It appears to be a prevalent practice in the title insurance industry to "misclassify" escrow officers and escrow closers as "exempt" employees in order to avoid having to pay these employees for their overtime work.
However, various courts have found that escrow officers and escrow closers are not exempt employees and thus are entitled to overtime pay.
If you are an escrow officer or escrow closer and you are not receiving overtime pay, please fill in our form on the right to submit your complaint if you are intersted in being included in a possible escrow officer class action.
