Drug firm reps sue for overtime

Drug Salespeople Sue for Unpaid Overtime

Joseph, Herzfeld, Hester & Kirschenbaum partner Charles Joseph's work representing pharmaceutical sales representatives got some notice from the National Law Journal (March 20, 2007). The representatives claim they are incorrectly classified as exempt from overtime, costing them as much as 30 hours a week in extra pay. In the article, Joseph defends charges that the representatives are well compensated and receive bonuses for their successes. Maybe that was once so, he told the journal, but they now feel like "pharm-bots" reduced to delivering a scripted speech and dropping off information.
