Josephson Dunlap has filed a lawsuit against Eastern Energy Services, Inc. seeking unpaid overtime wages and damages under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The plaintiff, employed as an Operator, regularly worked over 40 hours per week without receiving overtime pay, as Eastern Energy improperly classified Warren as exempt from overtime requirements. The lawsuit claims that Eastern Energy's pay policies violated the FLSA and seeks compensation, including overtime wages, liquidated damages, attorney's fees, and costs, for plaintiff and other similarly situated employees. The lawsuit also requests the designation of the case as a collective action to allow other affected individuals to join the lawsuit.
