Federal workers sue US government for failing to pay up to $10,000 in overtime per person: lawsuit
Fox News
Nearly 100 federal criminal investigators are suing the United States government for allegedly cheating each person out of between $5,000 to $10,000 in overtime pay for extra hours spent fulfilling training requirements, and the number of complainants is expected to grow exponentially, according to court papers and information released this week.
In a press release provided to Fox News, Gregory McGillivary, the lead attorney handling the case, accused the federal government of what he called "a rather blatant violation of overtime law," which, "comes at a time when the criminal investigators are most vulnerable and unlikely to report or even be aware of this pay violation." The law firm anticipates a class of up to 40,000 people. It argues that federal employees who attended a training program at a federal law enforcement training center, or FLETC, "were regularly scheduled to work six (6) days a week," but were never paid overtime for the sixth workday.
