This wage theft collective action was brought on behalf of a group of current and former employees of Strickland Waterproofing Company, Incorporated, alleging their employer failed to pay overtime premiums for work done at the University of Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University, Virginia Tech University, and numerous other construction projects across the Southeastern United States. Specifically, the complaint alleges that Plaintiffs regularly worked in excess of forty hours per week at the construction projects but were not paid at the required time and a half overtime rate for this work. The complaint further alleges that the workers were illegally classified as independent contractors, when they were in fact employees.
