Henderson v. BeavEx Inc
Filed: June 5, 2017 ◆§ 5:17-cv-00626-R
Delivery and logistics provider BeavEx, Inc. is the defendant in a proposed collective action that claims couriers were misclassified as independent contractors.
Delivery and logistics provider BeavEx, Inc. is the defendant in a former courier’s proposed collective action that claims he and similarly situated individuals were unlawfully misclassified as independent contractors and ultimately denied rightful Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) protections. Filed in Oklahoma, the lawsuit alleges the defendant paid its courier drivers a flat rate without recording the number of hours the employees spent executing deliveries. Predictably, the plaintiff claims couriers frequently worked more than 40 hours per week without being paid at the time-and-a-half hourly overtime rate. Moreover, the case points to a clear employer-employee relationship between proposed collective members and the defendant, claiming BeavEx had “exercised comprehensive control over the employment of its couriers” by, for example, prohibiting drivers from refusing pick-ups and deliveries, reprimanding drivers who were late, and requiring workers to stay in contact with the company via cell phone throughout every workday.
