Multi-billion-dollar engineering firm Aecom is staring down a proposed collective and class action that alleges the company operates a “payment scheme” through which employees are paid straight-time wages for their overtime hours.

Behind the case is a maintenance superintendent who began his employment with the defendant in May 2016. The plaintiff claims he was inappropriately paid at his regular rate of $60.57 per hour for all hours worked, including for overtime hours that the suit says should have been compensated at a time-and-a-half rate. The lawsuit charges that hundreds of Aecom’s hourly employees across the country have been subjected to this unlawful pay practice.
