Case ID: 3003 | Employment | 10/11/2004
A Collective Action has been filed in Texas against wireless telephone giant, AT&T Wireless Services, Inc. The action, brought under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, is brought on behalf of all Texas residents employed by AT&T wireless who were not paid overtime wages for all hours worked in excess of 40 per week. The employees allege that AT&T Wireless engaged in intentional and deliberate acts of misconduct aimed at defrauding them of overtime pay. Employees are seeking statutory damages available under federal law as well as back pay and injunctive and declaratory relief.
This action arises out of what employees claim is an intentional and systematic policy of AT&T to deny them proper overtime wages as required under federal law. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, all employees who are paid by the hour are entitled to receive compensation at the rate of time and a half for all hours worked in excess of 40 per week.
