Ullom v. Bill Perry & Associates, Inc.
What Happened
An employee named Ullom sued Bill Perry & Associates, Inc. and its owner, William Perry, claiming the company failed to pay overtime compensation as required by federal law. The employer did not respond to the lawsuit, which resulted in a default judgment—meaning the court decided in the employee's favor because the employer didn't contest the claims.
What the Court Decided
The court ruled that Ullom was owed $95,604.26 in unpaid overtime wages. This substantial award reflects the total compensation the employee should have received under federal overtime protections.
Why This Matters for Workers
This case demonstrates that employers cannot simply ignore wage violation lawsuits. Even when an employer fails to respond in court, workers can still recover full compensation for unpaid overtime. The large damage award sends a clear message: companies that violate overtime laws face serious financial consequences. If you believe your employer owes you overtime pay, this ruling shows that legal action can successfully recover those wages.
