A proposed class action filed against Joli Ventures, Inc., Clearwater Breach Treats, LLC, and two individual defendants claims the parties intentionally misclassified workers as exempt from overtime to avoid paying wages for hours worked over 40 in a week. The case claims the defendants’ alleged employment practices violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

The plaintiff was employed by the defendants as fast food worker from April 2015 until January 19, 2017 and claims she worked more than eight-hour days six days per week without being paid at the time-and-a-half hourly overtime rate or the minimum wage.
