Texas Credit Union has debt for back wages: Former tellers and loan officers owed overtime
Companies save a lot of money by purposely misclassifying employees under the labor laws. They avoid paying overtime, unemployment insurance and workers compensation premiums. This practice has run rampant across all industries and all employees are at risk of being cheated out of their wages.
Case in Point
The Labor Department's Dallas office found that American Airlines Federal Credit Union in Fort Worth, Texas, profited by not paying proper wages to employees working overtime. The company has agreed to pay $83,608 in back overtime wages to 295 current and former employees, including:
tellers,
loan officers, and
customer service representatives.
The company owes $83,000 in back wages to 295 current and former tellers, loan officers, and customer service representatives. The Dallas labor office found that the credit union:
improperly classified its salaried employees as exempt from the FLSA's overtime provisions
paid employees "straight-time" wages, rather than time and one-half as required by the FLSA.
failed to maintain accurate time and payroll records of employees' work hours and wages.
