suing for overtime (Score 0)

I was the person who submitted the suing for overtime article couple months ago. Well its turns out I worked 330 hours of overtime. My lawyer in the meantime was preparing the case. During that same period, EDS recruited the DOL to do an investigation regarding my hours. Well the DOL stated that I did deserve overtime. But their system of determining how much money I received really screwed me over.

The DOL takes your paycheck and divides it by the number of hours you worked that week. So for an example some time I was making $7/hr working overtime. In any case, the DOL couldnâ(TM)t understand my frustration and said I should be happy with I received. BTW, I was originally supposed to receive 10K but now Iâ(TM)m only getting 1600 after taxes. And since the DOL was brought in, no judge would overrule their settlement. I canâ(TM)t even get a lawyer to look at the case now.

Seem corporations use the DOL to avoid overtime lawsuits because the penalties will not be as harsh...

And the DOL is there for the employees... YEA RIGHT!!!!!

I told the DOL examiner on the case that she can work for me 90 hour weeks, and then when I figure out she deserves overtime, Ill give her $4/hr. She laughed at me.

BEWARE: Dont rely on the DOL for anything. They support the corporations instead of the people.
