Simmons v. Broadway Home Improvement, Inc. d/b/a ABC Hi-Def Communications, Case No. 1:14-cv-00483-JMS-DML
On March 28, 2014, we filed a collective action Complaint on behalf of satellite technicians and all similarly situated individuals, against Broadway Home Improvement, Inc. d/b/a ABC Hi-Def Communications. These individuals seek overtime pay under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. The Complaint alleges that individuals working in this position were: (1) improperly classified as independent contractors, and (2) denied overtime pay in violation of the FLSA. The Complaint was filed under the FLSA’s collective action procedure, which means the plaintiff filed the Complaint seeking to represent himself and other “similarly situated” employees who work or worked for ABC Hi-Def Communications as a satellite technician at any time within the past three years.
