A former employee of Maco Management Company, Inc. claims in a proposed collective action that the property management business and its owners “refused” to pay her for overtime work.

The suit says the plaintiff worked for the company, which manages low-income housing units and apartments, as an hourly paid property manager and district manager. The woman alleges that she was only paid for between 37.5 and 40 hours of work per week despite being required to work “a substantial number of overtime hours” on a regular basis.

The plaintiff also claims the defendants illegally told their employees “that no matter how many hours they actually work, they cannot report that they worked more than 40 hours in a workweek.” According to the complaint, employees were threatened with discipline and discharge should they accurately record their work hours.

The plaintiff ultimately resigned “because of the exhausting and uncompensated overtime hours she was required to work,” the case states.
