A proposed class and collective action has been filed against International Paper Company over allegations that current and former production workers have not been paid proper overtime wages over the last three years. The complaint notes that in addition to hourly wages, production workers also receive non-discretionary cash rewards on a regular basis when “certain objective and measurable criteria were met.” According to the plaintiff, the defendant did not include these cash rewards in production workers’ regular rates of pay when calculating overtime pay as the law requires for non-discretionary bonuses.
