Leslie's Pool Supply and Service is in direct violation of federal FLSA law. Look it up here:

Leslie's claims, that as store managers on a salary they can classify them with "Exempt" status, force the store managers to work long 55 hour weeks often times alone and with no breaks, thus banking huge amounts of dollars on labor and not compensating the managers for their time by 1 cent.

Fact of the matter is, by law (FLSA) there are conditions that must be met in order for a salaried employee to be listed as "Exepmt". With the duties that Leslie's store managers perform, the ONLY way that Leslie's could legally classify the store manager as "Exempt" would be if they continually supervised no less than 80 man hours of labor of other staff weekly throughout the year.

Any person that works as a store manager for Leslie's knows this is not the case, therefore, under law, ANY salaried store manager for Leslie's should be compensated for EVERY MINUTE worked over 40 hours of EVERY WEEK. Leslie's is fully aware of this law, and is the primary reason that store managers in California are paid on an hourly basis, since the employement law in California is much more liberal.

I highly recommend that any current or former store manager for Leslie's (or if you know of someone that is) be notified of this immediately and look into it for themself. Read the FLSA, anyone will be able to see that Leslie's is ripping them off and compensation is due to anyone that worked as a store manager for Leslie's outside of California. Stop letting Leslie's corporate greed benefit from your long hard hours of water testing, in store shop repairs, stocking out trucks, and those painfull inventories. Get the money from them that you earned and refuse to work over 40 hours without being paid anymore! Call your local Workforce Commision and/or Labor Board and file a complaint. What they are doing is wrong and it needs to be stopped ASAP.
