Texas oil companies not paying overtime - Overtime pay applies to all cities and towns for covered employees

Oil and gas employees not paid overtimeOvertime pay applies in and outside any city: Learn why city limits do not take away overtime eligibility for rural workers under the FLSA.

Working in a small town or rural area does not take away your federal eligibility for overtime pay. We see many cases of employees who work in rural areas or in the agricultural sector and were not paid overtime by their employers. The FLSA is a federal law, which means it protects employees throughout all states and across industries.

Case in Point

C and K Rentals in Cuero, Texas, is involved in a wage investigation that claims the company allegedly did not pay their gate guards and oil equipment cleaners minimum wage and overtime pay.

The Department of Labor investigation found several violations of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act including: minimum wage, overtime pay and record-keeping violations.

The wage claims against the Texas oil well supply company include gate guards who claim they received a daily wage below the federal mandated minimum wage of $7.25. The investigation also claims oil equipment cleaners were not paid overtime, which is time and one-half your regular pay rate.

Employees deserve to be paid an honest day's pay for an honest day's work.
