- Construction Firm to Pay $76,000 in Overtime Wages
Diversified Interiors of Amarillo, Ltd., a framing and drywall construction firm, has paid $76,417 to 63 workers who were denied overtime pay for hours worked beyond their normal shifts, the U.S. Department of Labors Wage and Hour Division (WHD) recently reported.
Investigators found that Diversified paid the required time-and-a-half premium for scheduled hours worked beyond 40 hours per week, but paid straight time for unscheduled overtime, including time spent traveling between work sites, in violation of theFair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The company also reportedly failed to maintain required records.
Employers are legally obligated to properly compensate employees for all hours worked, said Cynthia Watson, WHD regional administrator. This includes travel between the employers facility and the job sites, and any other hours worked, whether scheduled or not.
WHD noted that under the FLSA, hours worked includes all time an employee must be on duty, or on the employers premises, or at any other prescribed place of work, from the beginning of the first principal work activity to the end of the last principal activity of the workday.

I just wanted to thank Phillips law Group and Vanessa Rodriguez for all the help that she did for my daughter’s case. She was involved in her first accident and she needed the help to deal with these adjusters. Thank you again.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value As someone who is familiar with the inner workings of the auto insurance industry I can whole heartedly endorse Steven J. Jones and Phillips law group as someone I would want on my side should litigation take place. They handled my case professionally, honestly, and with satisfactory results which I would not have expected without enlisting their help.

It’s an Honor and a Privilege to work for a company that cares about its employees and clients for 12 years. I’ve seen Management go out of their way to help someone whether it’s a personal matter or work related. I am also reminded of many occasions where a Client needed urgent help and we as a Team were able to get the person immediate assistance. At Phillips Law we make that happen through Teamwork and a dedication to our profession. I’ve had numerous jobs in several other fields, those were just jobs. This is a home. Many of us have been here for quite a few years, it feels like one large extended family.
