Employee alleges round-the-clock wage violations at 24 Hour fitness club
The federal wage laws are applicable whether you work in a regular nine to five job, or if you work night shifts or day shifts at 24-hour businesses. You should still be paid according to the laws, and if you work more than 40 hours a week you should be paid overtime.
Case in Point
A recent lawsuit against 24 Hour Fitness in California alleges that the club forced employees to work off the clock and also misclassified them as exempt from overtime. A personal trainer filed the lawsuit against the fitness club in Redondo Beach this month.
In the lawsuit, the employee claims that 24 Hour Fitness classified managers as exempt from overtime pay and failed to pay them time-and-a-half for hours worked over 40. He also claims that 24 Hour Fitness personal trainers were also forced to work off the clock without overtime pay. The employee is seeking unpaid overtime, liquidated damages and attorneys’ fees..
What is time-and-a-half pay?
Federal law states that non-exempt employees should be paid time-and-a-half for hours worked over 40 in a week. If you are not paid overtime you should make sure that you are classified correctly under the law. Order our free book to learn more about wage and overtime claims.
