Judge: Middlebrooks

Facts of the case: Hourly call center agents were required to receive and respond to calls for their employer, TPUSA, Inc.

Describe overtime violation: Where the off-the-work caused the agents’ weekly time to exceed 40 hours, they were not compensated at 1.5 times their regularly hourly rate.

Who is eligible to join the lawsuit: All current and former hourly call center agents who worked for TPUSA, Inc. in the United States at any time during the applicable statutory period.
