On January 28, 2020, Tyler Harris and Pablo Mata (collectively, “Plaintiffs”), on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated, represented by Matthew T. Lockaby and Tamara J. Patterson of Lockaby PLLC, filed a labor lawsuit against B&L Delivery LLC and Bob Maynard (collectively, “Defendants”), seeking injunctive relief and compensatory damages for alleged failure to pay wages in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) and the Kentucky Wages and Hours act. This case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, with Judges Karen K. Caldwell presiding.
In the complaint, the plaintiffs alleged, “Harris, Mata, and the putative collective and class were forced or otherwise required to work “off the clock” during work weeks without receiving compensation for all time they spent working. For instance, pursuant to a common plan and practice, Defendants manipulated Harris, Mata, the collective, and the class’ time cards to reflect meal breaks that were not or could not be taken, depriving them of wages for time spent working. Defendants also failed to compensate Harris, Mata, the collective, and the class for all overtime hours worked in excess of 40 hours in any work week.”
Plaintiffs also alleged, “During his employment, Harris spent time working for which he was not paid, including time spent in the morning before he was clocked in for his shift, time spent in the evening after he had clocked out for his shift, and time spent working during the workday when Defendants had clocked him out for a break he did not or could not take.”
The plaintiffs then alleged, “As a result of and including such time during each work week, Harris worked in excess of 40 hours but was not paid overtime wages for all such time.”
The plaintiffs also alleged, “During his employment, Mata spent time working for which he was not paid, including time spent working during the workday when Defendants had clocked him out for a break he did not or could not take.”
Additionally, the plaintiffs alleged, “During their employment, members of the collective, both current and former employees of Defendants paid on an hourly basis, spent time working for which they were not paid, including time spent in the morning before they were clocked in for their shift, time spent in the evening after they had clocked out for their shift, and/or time spent working during the workday when Defendants had clocked them out for a break they did not or could not take.”
The plaintiffs then alleged, “By failing to pay Harris, Mata, and the collective appropriate wages for all time spent working, including overtimes wages, Defendants have willfully, knowingly, intentionally, or recklessly violated the FLSA.”
Plaintiffs presented three claims for relief, including alleged violation of the FLSA; 29 U.S.C. § 207; and the Kentucky Wages and Hours Act, KRS § 337.285.
In the prayer for relief, the plaintiffs requested a judgment for injunctive relief. The plaintiffs also requested an award for compensatory and liquidated damages, with pre- and post-judgment interest, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and costs of suit.
