A former employee claims in a proposed collective action filed against General Aluminum Mfg. Company that he frequently worked more than 40 hours a week—sometimes as many as 60—without being paid at the time-and-a-half hourly overtime rate. The plaintiff, who filed the suit in Ohio federal court, alleges the defendant had a policy of not paying employees for pre- and post-shift off-the-clock work, saying proposed collective members would sometimes work up to 15 minutes before their scheduled start times and at least 30 minutes past the scheduled end time of their shifts. Further, the case alleges the defendants paid proposed collective employees quarterly attendance bonuses that were never included when determining the workers’ overtime pay rates.
