Next Generation Construction & Environmental, LLC and three individuals with control of the business have been hit with a proposed class action accusing them of failing to pay employees proper wages for all hours worked.

The plaintiff says he frequently worked more than 12 hours per day and/or more than 40 hours per week for the oilfield service company throughout his employment but wasn’t paid time-and-a-half wages for his overtime hours. Moreover, the case alleges that employees weren’t even paid at their appropriate straight-time rates for all hours worked due to the defendant’s allegedly faulty timekeeping methods that failed to account for off-the-clock work. As explained in the complaint:

“Plaintiff’s ‘off the clock’ work resulted from Next Generation’s failure to properly track and administer all time worked, including meal and rest breaks and time in preparation and traveling before and after arriving at and leaving worksites.”

The lawsuit has recently been removed from state to federal court in Colorado.
