On January 16, 2014, the employment lawyers at Dunham & Jones P.C. filed suit in Federal Court in Houston against Greene’s Energy Group, LLC and Greene’s Energy Group International, LLC on behalf of former oilfield worker Bryan High, alleging overtime violations.
Mr. High 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.
Mr. High, who worked in Houston, Texas, alleges that he was working in excess of 120 hours every two weeks although his employer failed to pay him overtime for these hours. In fact, the compensation scheme utilized by his employer wound up reducing his effective hourly rate the more hours he worked. This type of scheme is commonly referred to as Chinese Overtime.
