Yes, a cable installer may be able to file an unpaid overtime lawsuit against their employer for the denial or failure to pay overtime wages. Cable installers are entitled to receive overtime pay for all hours worked more than 40 hours in a single work week. In addition, according to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), if a company pays its technicians by a “piece rate” compensation system, they must still track all hours worked and pay overtime to its technicians in addition to the piece rates when they work more than 40 hours, In general, “hours worked” includes all time an employee must be on duty, including travel time between jobs, time spent at the shop, time spent waiting between jobs, and work performed at home.
Unfortunately it is not uncommon for employers not to pay its workers the appropriate amount of overtime pay. However, the failure of the employer to pay required wages can give rise to a cable installer unpaid overtime lawsuit. These types of lawsuits often result in compensation that includes money damages (difference the amount the employee was paid and the amount they should have received had their wages been calculated properly), liquidated damages or interest as well as attorneys’ fees.
