Last month, 8 club dancers employed by a Dallas-based adult entertainment business filed suit against their employer.  The plaintiffs work or previously worked at clubs in Lubbock, Dallas, Fort Worth, Abilene, and Odessa.

The dancers' claim states that their employer classifies them as contract workers, instead of hourly employees.  As a contract worker, individuals are able to set their own hours and typically use their own equipment to do their work.  However, the dancers say that they are assigned the hours they will work by the club and they are fined if they do not show up for their assigned hours.

According to the lawsuit, the dancers do not receive hourly pay and are not granted overtime for any hours worked in excess of 40 hours a week.
