Nuclear Plant Employee Claims Time Spent on Safety Checks Should be Compensated |
 |
A class action lawsuit has been filed in the Southern District Court of New York against Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., a Louisiana based nuclear company, for violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Class members seek unpaid wages, overtime, costs and attorney's fees.
Specifically, the complaint alleges that James Gorman was hired by Entergy in September 2001 as an hourly, non-exempt employee. As part of his duties at a nuclear plant, he was required to go through a litany of safety checks. He maintains that these checks averaged 34 minutes at the beginning of his shift and 6 minutes at the end of his shift. The checks were done performed while he was "off the clock" and he claims that the time spent was more than de-minimus and that he should be paid for this time.
