Zavala v. Port to Port International Corporation
Filed: October 9, 2017 ◆§ 1:17-cv-01411-UNA
A former lead specialist claims Port to Port International Corp. paid non-seaman workers wages for working overtime, just not at the time-and-a-half hourly rate.
Delaware
Port to Port International Corporation is the defendant in a former employee’s proposed collective action that alleges the international cargo shipping company and terminal operator owes unpaid overtime wages. Filed by a former lead specialist who worked for Port to Port from 2014 through 2017, the lawsuit claims the plaintiff and similarly situated employees regularly worked more than 40 hours per week and were paid for that work time, but not at the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)-required time-and-a-half rate calculated from their regular hourly pay.
More specifically, the lawsuit claims the defendant unlawfully classified the plaintiff and employees with similar job duties as “employed as a seaman,” which allows for a narrow overtime exemption under the FLSA.
