Our overtime pay lawyers frequently represent service technicians (“service techs”) who have been denied overtime wages by their employer. Service techs are often required to perform work both before the “official start” or the “official end” of their shifts, but do not receive overtime pay. This is all too common for service technician workers.
Employers are required to track this additional time spent on job related duties and to pay overtime wages for work beyond 40 hours per week. Unfortunately, many companies consider these extra work requirements as just part of a regular shift, even though they extend the time before and after a shift. This is a violation of federal overtime pay laws.
Service tech jobs often require long work hours and many of times hours worked in excess of 40 hours in a 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. In addition, this can include travel time between jobs, time spent at the shop, time spent waiting between jobs, and work performed at home.
If your employer is denying you overtime or has failed to pay you for overtime hours worked, they are in violation federal wage and hour laws. You and your co-workers may be eligible to file a lawsuit to collect back all owed wages. Many class action lawsuits have been filed for service technicians cheated out of overtime pay.
