Writing quality blog posts for media corporations is not an easy task. Blog writers spend hours creating content that people will read and share on a daily basis. Writing is not always a typical 9 to 5 job, but bloggers and writers employed for media companies are entitled to overtime pay under the federal labor laws. If you are a hired blogger, you are entitled to your overtime pay under the FLSA.
An overtime lawsuit filed against FindLaw, owned by Thompson Reuters, shows that bloggers are entitled to their FLSA protections.
Case in Point
A writer in San Francisco has filed an overtime lawsuit against FindLaw, a company owned by Reuters, demanding that the company pay him for overtime hours and meal break pay. The writer claims that he and fellow bloggers often worked over eight hours a day without overtime compensation. Writers were required to write at least eight blog posts daily and he claims writers were encouraged to produce more content by skipping their lunch breaks.
Most writers at FindLaw worked around 60 hours a week, but were not paid their overtime rate. The lawsuit seeks class-action status, and would cover around 50 writers who worked or have worked for FindLaw.
