A collective action lawsuit for unpaid overtime has been filed by several\u00a0current or former employees of Rig Power, Inc. and its parent company M3P Energy, LLC in federal court in Midland, Texas.\u00a0 Defendant Rig Power provides rental equipment and personnel for companies in the oil and gas industry.\u00a0 According to its website, Rig Power has field offices in Midland, Texas; Weatherford, Texas; San Angelo, Texas; Enid, Oklahoma; Fort Stockton, Texas; Marshall, Texas; Hobbs, New Mexico; Wysox, Pennsylvania; and Dover, Ohio.<\/p>\n
According to the complaint filed against Rig Power in federal court, Field Technicians at Rig Power are paid a salary and receive a \u201cdaily bonus\u201d for each day they work more than eight hours per day.\u00a0 This \u201cdaily bonus\u201d would be the same for each day that the Field Technician worked more than eight hours, regardless of the number of overtime hours that the employee worked during that week.\u00a0 Thus, according to the unpaid overtime lawsuit, these Field Technicians were not compensated at a rate of one-and-a-half times their regular rate of pay for each hour worked above forty in a given week.<\/p>\n
