On August 31, 2022, Handley Farah & Anderson filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia on behalf of a group of former employees of J A G Contractors Inc., and Hensel Phelps Development, L.L.C., alleging their employers failed to properly compensate workers for work done at the Bethesda Marriot Project in Maryland. The Complaint alleges that while employed by Defendants, Plaintiffs regularly worked in excess of forty hours per week but were not paid at the required time and a half overtime rate. Additionally, the complaint alleges that Plaintiffs were not paid for multiple weeks of work, Plaintiffs were paid less than minimum wage, and that Plaintiffs were illegally classified as independent contractors when they were in fact employees.
