Pinnacle A Roofing Company Named in Former Employee’s Unpaid OT Suit

A former employee has filed suit against Pinnacle A Roofing Company and an individual with control of the business over claims that the defendants failed to properly pay him for all his hours worked. According to the case, the plaintiff worked as a roof mechanic for the company between March 1, 2017, and January 30, 2018, for $17.00 per hour without receiving time-and-a-half overtime pay for the hours he worked over 40 each week. The defendants’ timekeeping method consisted of a handwritten time sheet on which the plaintiff was instructed to record no more than 40 hours per week regardless of how many hours he actually worked, the case says.

In fact, the man claims he began work half a hour before his shift was scheduled to start and spent 2.5 to five hours per week driving from job sites to the company’s office at the end of each day – time for which he was supposedly not compensated.

The plaintiff says he frequently complained to management regarding the alleged lack of overtime pay and was unlawfully terminated in direct retaliation for his complaints.

The lawsuit was recently removed from state to federal court in Florida.
