Pharmaceutical Representatives File Nationwide Overtime Pay Lawsuits against 8 Major Drug Companies

Partner Charles Joseph is ahead of the curve in this November 30, 2006 Business Wire article on pharmaceutical representative overtime claims. The representatives, whose job is to convince doctors to prescribe the drugs they represent, claim that they work long days, long hours and weekends with no extra pay because they've been incorrectly classified as salespeople. Nonetheless, they don't actually sell anything, Joseph noted. One representative, who worked for Pfizer for 20 years, said she was expected to be available "24/7,"a requirement that frequently complicated her life as a single mother.
