Cable Technicians Who Were Denied Overtime Pay May Be Able to File Unpaid Overtime Lawsuits

(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 17, 2010 ) New York, NY – The overtime lawyers working with IQOvertime.com are available to review claims from cable technicians who regularly work more than 40 hours a week and have been denied overtime pay. Generally, cable technicians are entitled to 1.5 times their regular rate of pay for every hour worked in excess of 40 during a single workweek. If you have been denied overtime pay as a cable technician, visit http://www.iqovertime.com/cable-technicians-unpaid-overtime--41056.html to find out if you can participate in an overtime lawsuit to recover back pay.

Overtime violations can occur in any industry, and cable technicians are not immune from these illegal wage and hour practices. Common overtime violations which can affect cable technicians include the following: misclassifying employees as exempt from overtime wages; misleading workers into believing that they are ineligible for overtime pay because they receive a salary; and informing employees that they cannot receive overtime wages because they did not obtain permission to work extra hours.

Working off the clock is another overtime abuse which can affect cable technicians and occurs when an employer requires their workers to stay late or arrive early without pay. Cable television provider Charter Communications LLC was recently accused of requiring off-the-clock work from its cable technicians, who, in August 2008, filed an unpaid overtime claim to recover back pay. Allegedly, the cable technicians were not paid for off-the-clock job duties, such as completing work-related paperwork in the morning or unloading and storing equipment in their homes each night, in violation of overtime laws in 29 states in which the company operates. The unpaid overtime case recently settled for $18 million.

Cable technicians who have been denied overtime pay may be able to participate in an unpaid overtime lawsuit to recover up to three years of back wages, as well as an equal amount in liquidated damages and compensation for attorneysÂ’ fees. If you have been working off the clock as a cable technician or have not received overtime pay for hours worked in excess of 40, visit http://www.iqovertime.com/ to receive a free evaluation of your potential unpaid overtime claim. The overtime attorneys working with IQOvertime.com are offering this free case review at no cost and remain committed to protecting the rights of cable technicians and other workers who were wrongfully denied overtime pay.
