It unfortunately is not uncommon for roadside service technicians to work a substantial amount of overtime but never get paid for it. According to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), roadside assistance technicians are entitled to receive overtime pay if they work more than 40 hours in a single work week. Our unpaid overtime lawsuit attorneys actively represent roadside service workers who have been denied overtime wages from their employer.
