HOUSTON (Legal Newsline) – Two employees have filed a class action lawsuit against Murphy Distribution Inc. after they claim it violated the Fair Labor Standards Act by failing to pay them their proper wages.
Anthony San Miguel and Aaron Soliz claim Murphy Distribution and Don Murphy violated the Fair Labor Standards Act by employing them and other similarly situated nonexempt employees "for a workweek longer than forty hours [but refusing to compensate them] for [their] employment in excess of [40] hours…at a rate not less than one and one-half times the regular rate at which [they are or were] employed," according to a complaint filed Oct. 31 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas.
The plaintiffs claim the defendants violated the FLSA by failing to maintain accurate time and pay records for them and other similarly situated nonexempt employees as required.
The defendants own and operate a blasting and painting company.
"Defendants employed Anthony San Miguel as a laborer during the three years preceding the filing of this lawsuit," the complaint states. "Defendants employed Aaron Soliz as a laborer during the three years preceding the filing of this lawsuit."
The plaintiffs claim during their employment with the defendants, they were engaged in commerce or in the production of goods for commerce.
During the plaintiffs' employment with the defendants, they regularly worked in excess of 40 hours per week, according to the suit.
