Frank A. Rogers & Co., Inc. and one individual with control over the business are defendants in a proposed collective action that claims they failed to compensate employees for time spent traveling to and from job sites. The plaintiff – who was employed as a construction worker – says he and similarly situated employees were required to report to the defendants’ office yard at the start of each day to load tools into company vehicles and then travel to job sites. At the end of each shift, the plaintiff continues, employees traveled back to the office yard to return the vehicles. The suit argues that the workers’ uncompensated travel time caused their weekly hours to exceed 40 and that the defendants owe them time-and-a-half overtime wages as well as straight-time pay.
