- Diversified Interiors of Amarillo Ltd. Paid $76k in O/T
AMARILLO — Diversified Interiors of Amarillo Ltd. paid 63 current and former employees $76,417 in overtime back wages following an investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division.
An investigation found that the employer failed to pay employees required overtime premium for hours they worked beyond their scheduled workdays. Hours spent traveling to and from work sites, and any unscheduled hours that employees worked beyond their normal shifts, were paid at straight time rather than the time and-one-half of the employees regular rates of pay required by the FLSA when employees work beyond 40 hours in a workweek. Overtime hours that were scheduled had been paid at time and-one-half. Employees were shorted their overtime premium when the extra hours worked were unscheduled. The company also failed to maintain the required record keeping.
“Employers are legally obligated to properly compensate employees for all hours worked,” said Cynthia Watson, regional administrator for the Wage and Hour Division in the Southwest. “This includes travel between the employers facility and the job sites, and any other hours worked, whether scheduled or not. Other employers should use this case as an opportunity to ensure that their pay practices are in compliance, and that their employees are being properly paid. The Department of Labor will not hesitate to investigate and to seek remedies in cases where they are not.”
The violations of the overtime and record-keeping provisions are part of the Fair Labor Standards Act.

I enjoy my work day here at Phillips Law Group and generally speaking I love my clients. Every day brings a new client or task to keep me on my toes. Administration keeps open communication and is hilarious most of the time! I love the way we celebrate FRIDAY, holidays and birthdays and how everything is so competitive. All in all I’m so fortunate to be here and I enjoy what I do.

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.

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.

Jeffrey Phillips is truly a brilliant attorney and businessman. I would not hesitate for a moment to contact him if I needed a personal injury attorney in Arizona, you would be fortunate to have him and his team.
