Carwash Ignored Federal Overtime Requirements, Lawsuit Claims |
 |
Hourly employees of Waterfalls Carwash of Naples, LLC have filed a class action lawsuit claiming that the company failed to pay the overtime for hours worked in excess of 40, in violation of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act.
Workers at the carwash were paid by paycheck for hours worked up to 40 in a week, and in cash “under the table” for hours worked in excess of 40, but were not paid overtime for any hours worked in excess of 40. Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act employers are required to pay all non exempt employees time and one half for all hours worked in excess of 40 per week.
The complaint also alleges that the carwash failed to follow federal legal requirements designed to inform workers of their rights under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
The workers seek an award of the unpaid overtime together with interest, costs and other damages.
