A federal collective and state class action out of Colorado claims J.T. Timber Falling, Inc. failed to pay individuals working as operators proper hourly wages, namely through requiring the employees to work off the clock without compensation. The case’s two named plaintiffs claim J.T. Timber, to cut labor costs, “maintains a company-wide policy of not paying hourly-paid operators proper wages” for work performed before and after time spent at logging sites. According to the complaint, employees typically arrive at the defendant’s shop at 6:00 a.m., yet are not paid for work until 7:00 a.m., and regularly work more than 40 hours per week without proper pay.
