Yes, there have been numerous FLSA class action lawsuits filed to insure construction workers are paid what they are owed. The FLSA exemptions do not apply to construction workers who perform repetitive operations with their hands, physical skill and energy. As a result, construction workers are eligible to receive federal mandated minimum and overtime wage benefits.
These claims are filed by the entire group and provide each employee with more strength in numbers to fight against a large business and their high paid legal team. An employee can also join an existing class action lawsuit if it has already been filed for unpaid overtime pay.
If you work as a construction worker and believe that your employer is violating the law by not properly paying you overtime wages, contact one of our experienced attorneys immediately because the time to file these types of lawsuits may be short.
