(Bloomberg) -- The man who served as Donald Trump’s personal driver for more than 25 years sued him for back pay on Monday, saying he was forced to work thousands of hours of overtime that wasn’t paid. The suit was filed Monday by Noel Cintron in state court in Manhattan.

The wage bump in 2010 came with a catch, Cintron said in the lawsuit, per
@ChristieSmythe. He was induced to surrender his health insurance, saving Trump about $17,866 per year in premiums.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-07-09/trump-s-personal-driver-for-25-years-sues-for-unpaid-overtime …Show this threadThanks.

Salary. Means no overtime. At least it does in every other salary job!
-
Not necessarily. New York has very specific requirements for what constitutes exempt status for salaried employees... Drivers typically don't meet those qualifications.
-
Have you seen his employment contract?
-
My comment was based on New York labor laws. A driver would not be exempt from overtime. Whether he had a contract or not doesn't change that. But if he did have a contract claiming exempt salaried status it would likely be void as it shows a wilfull attempt to skirt labor laws.

Well as I'm not in New York, I'm sure you're 100% unbiased and correct & surely President Trump is the only person in the history of the world to have these allegations against him. The guy had 15+years to complain or file this suit, but waits until now? If it smells like a fish

Girl, you can easily Google New York law regarding the specifics that must be met that qualifies an employee as exempt. The law is the law, regardless of whether one likes him or not. He has been in thousands of lawsuits with employees, contractors, the federal govt. and clients.

Wow, he made far more than I made as a nurse with 40+ years of experience and a Department Director!

Made more than I made as a Master Level Therapist for county government (Juvenile Justice)

More than a lot of us, I bet.

He should spill his guts about who he hauled around for the pig!

Adjusting for cost of living $75k in NYC = $40k in West Virginia.

How is it sad working 55 hours a week for that kind of salary? Do you people have a clue?
-
I'm assuming too, that the guy turned down health insurance to get a higher salary. 55 hours ... left out, 30 plus hours playing candy crush.
