Sims et al v. Unation, LLC et al
Filed: December 12, 2016 ◆§ 8:16-cv-03382-CEH-JSS
Unation, LLC, the company behind an event-based social media app, and its chief strategy officer are the defendants in a class action over employee wages.
Unation, LLC, the company behind an event-based social media app, and its chief strategy officer are the defendants in a class action claiming its employees were not paid federally required overtime wages. Filed by three former employees, the complaint alleges proposed class members regularly worked in excess of 40 hours per week without being paid at the time-and-a-half hourly overtime rate for all hours worked beyond 40. The lawsuit specifically asserts that proposed class members were misclassified as independent contractors exempt from overtime pay. Many employers, the suit continues, intentionally misclassify workers as a means to avoid paying overtime and minimum wages. In truth, the nature of the employees’ workdays, how their duties were controlled and the clear employer-employee relationship that existed, the lawsuit claims, do not fit the prerequisites for an individual to be considered an independent contractor within the scope of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
