S.N.A. Concrete Pumping Corp., P & L Pumping Inc., and an individual owner are facing a proposed collective action filed by a former employee who claims they failed to pay him proper overtime wages. The plaintiff says he regularly worked 72 hours per week for S.N.A. Concrete Pumping, which later became P & L Pumping, as a manual laborer between March 2007 and August 2015. After approaching his supervisor – the individual defendant – with concerns that he and other employees were not being paid proper wages, the defendants supposedly began to pay the plaintiff overtime, the complaint says. The suit argues, however, that the plaintiff was still paid less than the time-and-a-half overtime premium specified by the Fair Labor Standards Act, and only received $33 per overtime hour when his regular hourly rate was $25 per hour.

The suit further argues that the defendants failed to maintain records of employees’ hours and pay and never provided paystubs or wage statements, an alleged violation of state labor laws.
