 |
A class action has been filed against Wheelchair Transport Service, Inc., the largest wheelchair transport service in Florida for violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), specifically for improperly classifying its contract drivers as independent contractors rather than employees. The class also alleges that the company did not compensate them according to FLSA requirements and seeks overtime compensation, minimum wages, liquidated damages, attorneys' fees and costs.
Specifically, the complaint alleges that the Tracye Cato was employed as a contract driver in April of 2004, regularly worked in excess of forty (40) hours a workweek, but was not compensated for overtime according to FLSA regulations. In addition, he alleges that the company failed to pay him at least the minimum wage of $5.15 per hour or make, keep or preserve records of hours worked.
