Lawsuit filed: Houston insurance broker claims hours altered electronically to keep her under 40 hours per week

On November 20, 2013, the lawyers at Dunham & Jones P.C. filed suit in Federal Court in Houston, Texas against A-Z Insurance Agency Corporation and Zehra Abu Ali on behalf of former insurance broker Emilia Rodriguez, alleging overtime violations.

Ms. Rodriguez filed suit under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) for all unpaid overtime hours worked within the three-year period prior to the filing of the suit. Notably, Ms. Rodriguez alleges that after she complained about Defendants’ illegal refusal to compensate her for all hours worked, she was fired.

Ms. Rodriguez, who worked in Houston, Texas, alleges that while she kept track of her time electronically, her supervisor would alter her hours after Ms. Rodriguez entered them to keep her under forty hours per week.
