SOS Furniture Company, Inc., which does business as Mattress One, and two individuals are facing another proposed class action over allegedly unpaid wages. The former inside sales employee who filed the lawsuit claims the defendants failed to properly calculate workers’ overtime wages. According to the complaint, the defendants failed to include commissions earned between April 2016 and September 2016 when calculating the plaintiff’s overtime compensation.

“[The defendants] thus failed to properly calculate the overtime rate of pay when they failed and refused to pay [the plaintiff] and the class of similarly situated hourly sales employees at the rate of time and one-half of their regular rate of pay (including non-discretionary commissions earned) for all hours worked over 40 hours in a workweek until [the defendants] changed to a commission-only pay structure,” the complaint alleges, adding that proposed class members were also allegedly not paid proper overtime for the three to four hours they spent every two months attending sales training meetings.
