Lawsuit filed: Diamond Grand Garden sued for not paying a salaried employee overtime when he was entitled to overtime for hours worked over 40

In a case filed in the Midland/Odessa Division of the United States District Court for the Western Division of Texas, lawyers from Dunham & Jones, P.C. have sued Diamond Grand Garden, Inc. and Jatinderpal Bajwa, Individually.  Defendants employed the Plaintiff, Juan Figueroa, as a cook and paid him a salary without additional compensation for overtime hours.  As the lawsuit alleges, merely being paid a salary does not necessarily mean an employee is not entitled to overtime pay.  Plaintiff is suing for unpaid overtime, additional amounts as penalties, attorney’s fees, and costs.

If you or someone you know worked for Diamond Grand Garden, Inc. and have a question about your entitlement to overtime, contact Dunham & Jones, PC, at 1-800-344-4444 today.
