Over 100 current and former employees working for Aguado Stone Inc. will be receiving a collective $193,554 in back wages after the U.S. Department of Labor found that the company was violating the Fair Labor Standards Act.
According to Examiner.com, most of the quarry workers did not speak English or understand that they were entitled to overtime pay for the extreme number of hours they put in each week. The Houston fair overtime wage lawyers in our office were pleased to see the decision, especially since many of the workers put in almost 100 hours of work each week at the Georgetown, Texas-based company.
The Fair Labor Standards Act was established to protect employees from unfair practices like the above-mentioned. Aguado Stone Inc. is the leading stone supplier in central Texas, and the company was clearly taking advantage of the employees who most likely needed their jobs to survive.
