A man formerly employed with a railing company in Lewisville recently filed suit against the company and its owners, arguing that he is owed approximately $40,000 in overtime pay.

The plaintiff worked for the defendants as a nonexempt employee for around a year and a half.  In this time, the man says he usually worked between 60 and 70 hours a week.  Being a nonexempt employee, the plaintiff should have received pay equal to time and a half for time spent working over 40 hours a week.

The plaintiff was paid $16,575 in overtime from the defendants, who admit that they owe the former employee money.  The defendants still owe the plaintiff about $40,000 in overtime pay, according to the lawsuit.
