Yes, an oil and gas field technician may be able to file an unpaid overtime pay lawsuit unless otherwise exempt by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The FLSA requires employers to pay all non-exempt Oil and Gas Workers overtime for all hours worked over 40 in the workweek. However, some states have also enacted overtime laws that regulate the number of hours an employee can work within 24 hours before receiving overtime.
