Lawsuit filed: Dallas installers claim both minimum wage and overtime violations

On February 12, 2014, the overtime lawyers at Dunham & Jones, P.C. filed suit in Federal Court in the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division against Apollo Retail Specialists, L.L.C. on behalf of former employees Seab Blaylock, Reginald Hawthorne, Rene Burnell, and David McLaurin, alleging both minimum wage and overtime violations.

Plaintiffs, who all worked as installers for Defendant Apollo, were employed primarily to set up new Dollar General and Dollar Stores. Their duties entailed installing shelves, display tables, labels, registers, and stocking the shelves with merchandise. Plaintiffs brought suit under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) alleging that they frequently worked more than 40 hours per week, but were never paid time and one half for these hours.
