About Wage Theft Claims

Wage theft encompasses various violations of wage and hour laws, including failure to pay minimum wage, unpaid overtime, off-the-clock work, and illegal deductions from pay. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and state wage laws establish minimum standards for compensation. These cases may be brought individually or as collective actions.

Horvath
Fed. Cl.Mar 25, 2020

UNREPORTED OPINION: The Court DENIES the defendant's motion for summary judgment (ECF [44]) and STAYS the plaintiff's motion for class certification (ECF [42]). The parties have 60 days to review their respective records and identify and submit to the Court any other instances, during the years relevant to Mr. Horvaths claim, for which the records indicate that he earned but did not receive § 5542(e) pay. If the Services broader review reflects that Mr. Horvath has received all the overtime pay due to him, the defendant may renew its motion for summary judgment. Until that review is complete, and the defendant determines whether to pursue a renewed motion for summary judgment, the Court will defer a decision on the plaintiffs motion. The parties will file a Joint Status Report by May 26, 2020. Signed by Judge Richard A. Hertling. (ah) Service on parties made.
