CHICAGO — United Airlines is a major American airline that operates from 10 hubs in the continental United States, Guam, and Japan. United Airlines employs over 88,500 people. Through the airline’s parent company, United Continental Holdings, it is publically traded under NYSE: UAL. United Airlines is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.
United Airlines employees are often required to work double shifts and work additional time before and after their scheduled shift. With the exception of some upper management positions, the airline must pay overtime to workers who work more than forty hours per week. Employers often deny or unlawfully refuse to pay overtime by misclassifying the positions of the workers, requiring them to report to work early but not “punch the clock” until later, striking hours off time cards, or not paying them for work before the shift starts and after the employee punches out for the day. These are violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and can give rise to an overtime pay lawsuit.
