Lawsuit Claims Scaffolding Solutions Owes Unpaid Travel Time Wages
Last Updated on May 8, 2018
Epps et al. v. Scaffolding Solutions, LLC
Filed: October 26, 2017 ◆§ 2:17-cv-00562-RBS-DEM
Two plaintiffs claim Scaffolding Solutions failed to pay workers for time spent traveling to job sites and back to the company's shop.
Two plaintiffs have filed a proposed class action in Virginia against Scaffolding Solutions, LLC over the company’s alleged failure to pay hourly employees for travel time, which the case says reduced the workers’ overall pay below the federal minimum threshold. According to the lawsuit, the only Scaffolding Solutions employee paid for his or her travel time was the individual who was physically driving the vehicle, and “not any of the passengers who were obviously not free to do what they wanted to do with their time when they were driving from their branch” to various job sites and back. The plaintiffs claim they and similarly situated workers spent, at minimum, one hour per day traveling to jobs throughout Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Washington D.C.
Moreover, the case claims proposed class members would sometimes work through lunch, for which 30 minutes was paid and 30 minutes was not paid. The defendant is also charged with regularly reducing employees’ hours turned in by foremen, and failing to hold up its end of the bargain after promising it would reimburse workers for unpaid hours.
