Lawsuit by Obamacare call center trainers alleges unpaid overtime – The Denver Post.
Nine Obamacare exchange call center workers have filed suit against Maximus, a company which has contracted to provide services for the federal government. They allege being forced to work overtime without pay, and to put in over 60 hour weeks, with skipped breaks and lunches. The company is said to have incorrectly classified the workers, who apparently have no managerial duties, as exempt from overtime. The Federal lawsuit filed in U.S. district court cites violations of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. It is thought that the conditions cited in the lawsuit could apply to thousands of other misclassified workers.
