Global transportation company Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. is staring down a proposed collective action filed over allegedly unpaid overtime wages.

The plaintiff worked for the company as an hourly paid “yard switcher” responsible for moving trailers to loading and unloading sites, according to the complaint. The worker alleges the defendant maintained a policy of improperly compensating employees at a straight-time rate for overtime work rather than time-and-a-half.

Further, when the plaintiff and similarly situated workers complained to their employers about the lack of overtime pay, “management responded by blaming the ‘corporate office’ and stating ‘that’s just how it is,’” the lawsuit says.
