Everett Financial, Inc., a national mortgage lender that does business as Supreme Lending, and two individuals with control of the company are defendants in a proposed class action alleging Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) violations. 

The plaintiff, who was employed by the defendants from November 2016 to May 2018, claims she did not receive the time-and-a-half overtime pay that was owed to her under the FLSA. According to the lawsuit, from November 2016 to June 2017, the plaintiff worked an average of 54 hours per week as a mortgage loan specialist for an hourly rate of $16.83. From July 2017 to May 2018, the plaintiff claims to have worked 54 hours per week as a loan officer assistant and production support specialist for an hourly rate of $17.31. The lawsuit alleges that despite working more than 40 hours per week, the plaintiff was “not compensated at the proper overtime rate.”

The lawsuit further argues that the defendants required the plaintiff and other employees to “clock-out” for a one-hour lunch break each workday even though they worked during this time. The plaintiff claims she is also owed unpaid wages for the times she was required to work from home without compensation.

The plaintiff seeks to recover allegedly unpaid wages and compensatory damages pursuant to the FLSA.
