Garbage Men Who Were Denied Overtime Pay May Be Able to Participate in an Unpaid Overtime Lawsuit

The overtime attorneys working with IQOvertime.com are available to review unpaid overtime claims from garbage men who regularly work more than 40 hours a week and have been denied overtime pay. Garbage men are generally covered by federal overtime law, and therefore should receive 1.5 times their regular rate of pay for every hour worked in excess of 40 during a single workweek. If you have been denied overtime pay as a garbage man, visit http://www.iqovertime.com/garbage-men-unpaid-overtime--41049.html today to find out if you can recover back overtime wages. 

Overtime violations in the waste management industry are not uncommon, and garbage men are among the types of employees most commonly affected by illegal wage and hour practices. In fact, a group of garbage truck drivers recently filed a class action lawsuit against their employer, Waste Management of Massachusetts, alleging that the company denied them proper overtime pay. The unpaid overtime case claimed that the company used an illegal payroll formula to calculate its employees’ overtime pay rates. In June 2010, a Massachusetts court approved a $7 million settlement for the garbage truck drivers, who will receive, on average, more than 200% of what they were actually owed in overtime wages. 

If you were denied overtime pay as a garbage man, you may be able to participate in an unpaid overtime lawsuit to collect up to three years of back pay.
