Case in Point
Electric Company to Pay $150,000 in Overtime and Back Wages to Employees
An electric company in Minnesota has agreed to pay nearly $150,000 in overtime and back pay to 13 electricians, electrician apprentices and one administrative employee. The electricians and apprentices were allegedly denied proper compensation for all hours they worked, in violation of the wage and labor laws, and the administrative employee was not paid overtime. Additionally, some technician apprentices were not properly compensated for overtime hours.
Most mechanics, technical repair workers and construction workers are protected under the FLSA. Just because you are not paid overtime by your employer does not mean you are not eligible for it. Do not assume your employer knows the employment laws. Many employers intentionally misclassify workers and rob them of thousands of dollars in wages each year.
