It looks like there is an investigation into claims that programmers and IT
employees at H & R Block are not being payed for overtime hours. The problem
centers around the possible improper classification of employees as
independent contractors. If you go to
http://www.lawyersandsettlements.com/case/hr_block_overtime there is more
information on this as well as what can be done about it. There is a free
case evaluation provided for those who might have had issue being payed
overtime in this situation. I thought this might be of interest and hope
that it may be of help some.
