A proposed collective action filed in Georgia on behalf of individuals currently or formerly employed as technicians (or in similar roles) by FocusVision Worldwide, Inc. alleges the market research firm improperly classified the workers as independent contractors. The lawsuit claims proposed collective members, tasked with providing technical setup and support for the defendant’s online focus groups and discussions, frequently worked more than 40, and sometimes as many as 60, hours per week without being paid time-and-a-half overtime wages. The plaintiffs, who the complaint says are still employed by the defendant, argue in the complaint that the defendants’ alleged misclassification of its technicians may “mislead [proposed class members] to believe they have no legal ability to recover overtime wages.”
