Our overtime pay attorneys are actively pursuing lawsuits for repossession men in overtime pay lawsuits against their employers. These positions often require long work hours and many of times hours worked in excess of 40 hours in a work week. Many repossession men are not paid overtime as required under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The employer’s failure to pay required benefits to a repo man can result in a lawsuit for unpaid overtime pay.
A repo man typically works long hours because it can be difficult to obtain someone’s car after delinquent payments. Sometimes vehicle purchase and lease agreements today authorize the leaser to use the vehicle’s electronic locating device to locate the vehicle, however other times this may not be possible. If the repossession man cannot find the car near the individual’s house or work they will search the nearby areas thoroughly and depending on the situation a repo man’ driving time may be considered work time.
According to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), many jobs and occupations are covered by the law, however, there are some jobs that are “exempt” from the Act. This means that the rules do not apply to employers in those circumstances. Typically, a repo man is entitled to overtime pay if their hours worked exceeds over 40 in a single work week. In general, “hours worked” includes all time an employee must be on duty, or on the employer’s premises or at any other prescribed place of work, from the beginning of the first principal activity of the work day to the end of the last principal work activity of the workday.
