What’s Happening at U-Haul?

Samfiru Tumarkin LLP has been contacted by U-Haul employees across Canada who claim they’ve been misclassified as “managers” to avoid overtime payouts.

We’re currently investigating these allegations and gathering information from affected staff.


Are U-Haul Managers in Canada Entitled to Overtime Pay?

Yes — many U-Haul managers may be.

In Canada, a worker is only exempt from overtime pay if more than 50% of their actual day-to-day job duties are truly managerial.

A job title alone doesn’t decide overtime eligibility. A U-Haul employee labelled as a “manager” may still be entitled to overtime pay if their primary duties are non-managerial — regardless of how the role is described internally.

If you’re a “manager” for U-Haul in Canada and believe you’re entitled to overtime pay, call Samfiru Tumarkin LLP at 1-855-821-5900 or request a consultation online.

Our experienced team has helped tens of thousands of non-unionized individuals across Canada resolve various workplace issues, including employee misclassifications and overtime pay disputes.

Your Rights as a Manager in Canada

Even if your title says “manager,” you still have strong legal protections as a non-unionized employee.

In Canada:

  • Job title doesn’t determine overtime eligibility — your actual day-to-day duties do.
  • If more than 50% of your work is non-managerial, you may be entitled to overtime pay.
  • Employers can’t circumvent overtime pay with a managerial label if the work doesn’t match the exemption.
  • Back pay can be claimed for overtime you should’ve received — in many cases, up to 2 years (depending on the province).
  • Employers can’t punish or fire staff for asking about a misclassification or unpaid overtime.

If you’ve raised concerns internally about overtime pay and nothing has changed, all hope isn’t lost. Seek legal advice immediately.
