PotlatchDeltic Corporation has been named in a former employee’s proposed collective and class action in which the man claims he worked overtime during “virtually every workweek” without proper wages.

The plaintiff was employed at the defendant’s lumber mill in Warren, Arkansas from March 2014 to August 2018, according to the case. The man alleges he put in between 70 and 90 hours per week yet did not receive time-and-a-half wages for every hour worked in excess of 40.

Specifically, the plaintiff claims the defendant failed to pay him for all time worked as a result of rounding his clock-in and clock-out times in the company’s favor. From the complaint:

“During the period relevant to this lawsuit, Defendant maintained a practice of rounding the clock-in and clock-out times in a manner that always favored Defendant at each instance of clocking in or out, including at the beginning and end of work days as well as lunch. In other words, the rounding always resulted in Defendant recording less time than Plaintiff and similarly situated employees actually worked.”
