Information Strategy Design, Inc. and two individuals with control of the business are facing a former employee’s proposed collective action that alleges the defendants owe him unpaid overtime wages. The plaintiff says he was employed as a computer help desk worker between January 2015 and October 2017 – a position that was not managerial in nature and allegedly did not fall under any Fair Labor Standards Act overtime exemptions. According to the case, the plaintiff many times worked up to 90 hours per week when he was “on call,” but never received time-and-a-half overtime wages for the hours he worked above 40. During his “on call” hours, the complaint alleges, the plaintiff was required to respond to inquiries within one hour and voicemail messages within 15 minutes, leaving him unable to use his time “for his own purposes.”
