Our experienced employment lawyers have recently filed an unpaid overtime wages lawsuit against ODW Logistics. The lawsuit alleges that ODW Logistics failed to pay its hourly warehouse/distribution employees all overtime wages they earned.
What Is the Unpaid Overtime Lawsuit Against ODW Logistics About?
The lawsuit alleges that ODW Logistics does not pay employees who arrive before their scheduled start time, punch in, and begin working. The lawsuit alleges that ODW Logistics has a rounding policy in place where it rounds warehouse/distribution employees’ clock-in times to their scheduled start time, not compensating employees for any work done prior to their scheduled start time.
ODW Logistics’ alleged failure to pay for this pre-shift work time because of its rounding policy results, over a period of time, in unpaid overtime wages for hourly warehouse/distribution employees.
What Could I Receive from the ODW Logistics Overtime Case If I Choose to Join It?
If our skilled employment attorneys are able to show in the lawsuit that ODW Logistics’ policies resulted in unpaid overtime wages, the law states that you could receive (1) unpaid overtime for up to the last three years of work; and (2) liquidated damages equal to the unpaid overtime (aka the potential for double damages). If the lawsuit is successful, the law also requires that ODW Logistics pay the firm’s attorneys’ fees and costs.
Can ODW Logistics Retaliate Against Me for Joining the Overtime Case?
No. The federal Fair Labor Standards Act prohibits employers from retaliating against employees for joining an unpaid wages lawsuit. If ODW Logistics retaliates, then it can be held liable for additional damages that include reinstatement, lost wages, and double damages (liquidated damages). More information about the protection from retaliation can be found from the U.S. Department of Labor here. If you have experienced or are concerned about retaliation, please contact our employment lawyers so we can explain your rights and protections.
