A woman, who wants to remain anonymous to the public, is suing Monterrey Tortilleria, a company located in Brownsville, Texas. She claims that she was never paid overtime, even though she worked more than 40 hours per week on a regular basis.
Instead of being paid time and a half for the extra 30 hours she worked each week, the woman was paid a fixed salary. She is seeking $8,000 in compensation.
ValleyCentral.com reports that the woman knew that she was entitled to the extra money, but continued to work because she needed a paycheck. Situations like these are very common.
