Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.

Sosa-Morris Neuman Attorneys at Law filed an Arbitration Demand against Halliburton for its failure to pay overtime wages to a Material Control Specialist. The Arbitration Demand states that Material Control Specialists are not exempt from overtime and that Halliburton violated federal wage and hour law when it paid Material Control Specialists a salary only. Material Control Specialists' responsibilities are clerical in nature and they do not hire or fire any individuals. Additionally, they do not use independent judgement or discretion with regards to matters of significance. Accordingly, the lawsuit alleges that Material Control Specialists are entitled to overtime pay because none of the wage and hour exemptions apply to Material Control Specialist. Sosa-Morris Neuman Attorneys at Law believes there may be other Material Control Specialists who are paid a salary only and entitled to overtime. If you were employed by Halliburton and believe you are entitled to overtime, contact us today. You can read the Arbitration Demand here.

Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. and CRC-Evans Pipeline International, Inc.

In this case, Sosa-Morris Neuman represents a former credit analyst for Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. and one of its subsidiaries, CRC-Evans Pipeline International, Inc. The lawsuit, which you can view here, provides that the Defendants misclassified their credit analysts as exempt despite those workers performing essentially clerical work. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, the federal statute that governs the payment of overtime to most workers in the country, to be classified as ineligible to receive overtime requires satisfaction of a detailed list of elements. In this case, the plaintiff alleges that she was misclassified because her duties did not require the exercise of independent judgment and discretion because her work as a credit analyst was governed by procedures her employer implemented and strictly controlled.

Point Security, LLC

Many employers attempt to circumvent the legal overtime requirements by utilizing non-standard payment systems for their employees. Often these employers believe that overtime only has to be paid to employees that are paid on an hourly basis. However, that is not how this area of law works. If a worker is entitled to overtime, he does not lose that entitlement just because his employer pays him some other way than hourly.
