Lopez v Pilot Catastrophe Services, Inc.
Employees Say Insurance Carrier Ignored Overtime Laws
A class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of employees of insurance carrier Pilot Catastrophe Services, Inc. The suit alleges that the catastrophic risk insurer routinely denied overtime pay to employees who had worked hours in excess of 40 per week. The workers are seeking back overtime pay and other damages.
Pilot Catastrophe Services, Inc. and its owner, W. Davis Pilot Jr., are alleged to have routinely denied overtime to employees of the company who had worked more than 40 hours in a given week. Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) employers are required to pay overtime pay of 1.5 times the regular rate to employees for any hours worked in excess of 40 per week.
The workers seek back overtime pay plus an additional award of liquidated damages equal to the amount of denied overtime for each worker included in the class.
