A man from Denton County has now filed a lawsuit against his former employer after claiming that they owe him money for unpaid overtime after he worked overtime for months and was not paid additionally for it.
According to the lawsuit, which was filed in the Sherman Division of the Eastern District of Texas, the man worked for Viva Railings from April 2010 to November 2011. The man stated that during this time employees were required to work more than 40 hours a week, but were not paid overtime when doing so.
He stated that in those months, he usually worked an average of 56 hours a week. For approximately 39 weeks the man worked for $19.23 an hour and was never paid overtime. The company has now paid overtime partially, but the lawsuit seeks the compensation for unpaid wages as well as emotional distress and liquidated damages.
