A former employee of Synergy Enterprises, Inc. has filed suit against the company over allegations that it refused to pay employees overtime wages. The plaintiff says she was employed as a logistics coordinator who mostly performed administrative work. According to the suit, the defendant’s understaffing and a high turnover rate caused employees to routinely work more than 40 hours per week, including through their unpaid lunch breaks. Instead of paying them time-and-a-half overtime wages for those hours, the defendants allegedly told employees not to accurately record their work hours on timesheets.

“[The plaintiff] can recall numerous times when she and others similarly situated attempted to record such time on their timesheets only to be instructed by Defendant to delete those hours,” the complaint reads.

The suit claims the plaintiff and similarly situated employees were not paid for any of their unscheduled overtime hours, in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
