Case ID: 2914 | Employment | 07/26/2004
A collective action, which covers all states but California, has been filed against temporary employment giant, Labor Ready, Inc. on behalf of all employees who were employed as "client service representatives" or "branch managers" and who, since October 21, 2000, were not paid overtime by Labor Ready. The action is brought under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and seeks back pay and liquidated damages from Labor Ready.
Labor Ready claims to be the nation's leading provider of temporary manual labor to the light industrial and small business markets. However, the employees claim that Labor Ready has a policy of not paying its employees overtime wages in accordance with federal law. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, employees are entitled to time and a half for all hours worked beyond 40 weekly. The employees claim that, despite the fact that they frequently worked beyond 40 hours a week, they were not compensated for overtime hours. The employees performed such tasks as dispatching employees, making collection calls, checking on the status of invoices, telemarketing and clerical work. The employees were paid by the hour, and claim that they are not exempt from receiving overtime pay.

Employees claim the University never paid for overtime worked. "Under the University's policy, people would work through lunch, but every week the University would automatically take off a half hour for lunch each day, so some employees would've gotten their lunches, but some employees would've worked for some or all their lunch period and it was still deducted," said the attorney representing the workers.
