The lawsuit — brought by a handful of nurses, custodial staff and a physical therapist — calls for the Iowa Board of Regents to cease its practice of delaying overtime payments.
In this week's ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Stephanie Rose ruled that the board must provide plaintiffs with contact information for overtime-eligible UIHC employees who worked overtime without receiving timely payment over the last three years. All of these employees will be given the option to opt into the lawsuit if they have been impacted.

The company hired to paint portions of Allegiant Stadium is alleged to be "a repeat violator of the FLSA (Federal Labor Standards Act)" according to a U.S. District judge citing a Department of Labor complaint against Unforgettable Coatings, its owner Cory Summerhays and his partners for failing to pay overtime.

Ex-trooper sues Georgia State Patrol, saying he wasn't paid OT
A former Georgia State Patrol trooper says he worked more than 60 hours a week while in training but wasn’t paid overtime, according to a lawsuit filed this week.
Richard Andrew Justice claims he is owed $11,957.12 in back pay in the class-action lawsuit. Hundreds of others are due back pay totaling nearly $5 million, the suit states.
“My theory is that this practice has been perpetuated for so long because most of these troopers get jobs and don’t want to turn on their employers,” Augusta attorney Jeffrey Peil told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Tuesday.

Reducing Salaries of Exempt Employees under the FLSA | Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart,
As daily headlines have shown, the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic has led businesses of all types to announce dramatic changes in workforce levels and employee pay. Many of these companies have made the decision to reduce the salaries they pay to their exempt employees. These reductions, which often range from 10 percent to 30 percent, have affected executives, managers, and professionals.
If the prospect of reducing the salaries of exempt professionals or managers gives you pause, it should. If executed incorrectly, salary reductions can destroy an employee’s exemption from overtime eligibility under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The loss of exempt status can be costly to a business; it means the employer may have to pay the affected employee overtime pay on top of his or her salary over some unknown number of workweeks.
Dick’s Sporting Good Sued by Assistant Managers For Overtime Pay – Footwear News
In a filing in Pennsylvania district court on Monday, several Dick’s assistant managers accused the Coraopolis, Pa.-based retailer of violating the Fair Labor Standards Act and state regulations.

The workers are asking for overtime pay and other damages dating back three years.
