Case ID: 3161 | Employment | 02/16/2004
A statewide collective action has been filed in Florida against the Carlink Corporation. The action is brought on behalf of all current and former employees of Carlink who were not paid proper overtime wages for all hours worked in excess of 40 per week. The action is brought under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and seeks statutory and liquidated damages as well as injunctive and declaratory relief. As a collective action, all potential claimants must "opt-in" to the action in order to be considered part of the class. The employees have requested that the court issue notice to all potential claimants.
This action arises from what employees claim is a systematic and intentional policy on the part of Carlink to deny overtime compensation to employees working beyond 40 hours per week. The employees claim that while they were called upon to work sometimes as many as 70 plus hours per week, they were not compensated for any overtime hours. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, all "non-exempt" employees are entitled to a minimum of time and a half for all hours worked beyond 40 per week. "Non-exempt" employees are generally those who are compensated on an hourly basis and do not perform managerial or executive type tasks. The employees claim that they were "non-exempt" under this definition and entitled to overtime. Additionally, the employees allege that because Carlink's denial of overtime was willful, they are entitled to liquidated damages.
