PHARMACEUTICAL sales
representatives working for
Schering-Plough in the USA have
won an industrial victory over nonpayment
of overtime by the firm.
A national class action suit
claimed that the reps often worked
more than 40 hours per week but
received an annual salary without
overtime pay, with the US Federal
Court ruling in their favour and
likely to award significant damages.
“The US Department of Labor
recognises that pharmaceutical
reps are not exempt from overtime
pay,” said the group’s attorney,
Charles Joseph.
“Schering Plough pharmaceutical
reps are owed a lot of money for
the often extraordinarily long hours
they work with no additional
compensation,” he said.
