MooreGroup Corporation and three individual owners are facing a lawsuit filed by two former employees who allege they were not paid proper wages. One of the plaintiffs says he worked as a fire guard for the defendants’ construction business and did not receive time-and-a-half premium pay for the hours he worked above 40 each week. He further claims the defendants withheld approximately four to six hours of wages every other week from his paycheck with no explanation and didn’t pay him for his last week of work. According to the suit, the first plaintiff complained to the individual defendants regarding his allegedly missing wages and was essentially fired.

The second plaintiff worked for the defendants as a fire guard and then as a welder, the suit alleges. Similarly, he says his paychecks were missing overtime wages and some straight-time wages each week. When he questioned the supposed lack of overtime, the complaint claims, the welder plaintiff was sent back and forth to different supervisors and was told on one occasion that overtime pay “doesn’t happen” at MooreGroup Corporation.

The suit claims the defendants should have paid their employees time-and-a-half wages and provided them with proper wage statements for each paycheck.
