Lawsuit filed: Pflugerville office manager was illegally classified as an independent contractor in order for employer to avoid paying overtime

On December 2, 2013, the employment attorneys at Dunham & Jones P.C. filed suit in Federal Court in Austin, Texas against Texas Tech Solutions, Inc. and Anthony Bealieu on behalf of former office manager George Cole, alleging overtime violations.

Mr. Cole 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, after Mr. Cole complained about Defendants’ illegal refusal to compensate him for all hours worked, he was fired.

Mr. Cole, who worked in Pflugerville, Texas, alleges that even though he was a manager, he was illegally classified as an independent contractor in order for his employer to avoid paying him, among other things, overtime pay.
