Our Houston, Texas overtime lawyers were pleased to read reports that Beck Disaster Recovery Inc. agreed to pay over $750,000 in back wages to 89 current and former employees after not previously paying overtime that was due.
The employees were temporary field supervisors, but it's unclear at which office locations they had worked. Beck is a Florida-based company, but has an office in the Houston area.
It's hard to believe that huge, successful companies get away with this type of behavior. In this case, Beck Disaster Recovery Inc. had declared that it was excused from the Fair Labor Standards Act, which was not the case. This incorrect self-proclaimed exception caused the nearly 100 employees to be denied full and fair compensation for the overtime hours that they worked.
We see cases all the time where Texas companies try to deny employees their overtime pay. If this is happening to you, make sure to request your free copy of the book written by the employment lawyers at Kennedy Hodges, L.L.P., Ten Biggest Mistakes That Can Hurt Your Wage and Overtime Claim, by calling 888.449.2068.
