A former oilfield worker of Chevron U.S.A., Inc. has filed a federal lawsuit against the company, asserting claims for unpaid overtime.\u00a0 <\/span>Chevron is a major oil and gas production company.\u00a0 <\/span>Plaintiff worked as a safety advisor of Defendant from approximately January of 2014 until April of 2016.\u00a0 Plaintiff alleges that\u00a0<\/span>Defendant paid him\u00a0(and other similarly situated employees) a salary in order to avoid paying overtime.\u00a0 <\/span>During his time with Defendant, Plaintiff alleges he typically worked 100 hours per week. Plaintiff alleges that because Plaintiff and the other Chevron employees are paid a weekly salary, regardless of the number of hours worked in a given week (even those above forty), they are denied overtime pay in violation of the FLSA. \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you work or in the past three years worked for Chevron and was<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. paid on a salary basis; and<\/li>\n
  2. a Safety Advisor (or had similar job duties), you may have a claim for unpaid overtime, and you could be owed thousands of dollars in unpaid overtime plus an equal amount in liquidated damages.\u00a0 <\/span>If you believe you may be owed overtime, you should consider speaking with an experienced overtime attorney as soon as possible to learn about and protect your legal rights. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The plaintiff seeks to have his case proceed as a collective action lawsuit so that any employee who was (1) paid on a salary basis; and (2) a Safety Advisor (or had similar job duties) within the past three years may join the lawsuit and seek overtime pay and liquidated damages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
