About the FLSA Overtime Wage Claims

---

Battelle's employees Mr. Jason Sweat and Ms. Sue Renzello individually and on behalf of others similarly situated current and former employees have filed a collective (class) action lawsuit against Battelle in the United States District Court for the District of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah.  

The federal overtime law is known as the Fair Labor Standards Act, or FLSA for short.  Under FLSA, employees are entitled to time and one half overtime pay for every hour worked after 40 hours in a week.  The statute of limitations is two years unless the employer can be shown to have willfully violated FLSA.  In that case, the plaintiffs can also receive liquidated damages.  In this case, we are seeking liquidated damages under FLSA, which would double the amount of overtime owed.

We will soon file the motion with the court to certify the FLSA overtime claims as class action.  In order to share in any FLSA overtime recovery or settlement, former and current employee must join the FLSA collective action.
