What Time Frame Does This Case Cover?
There is a federal statute of limitations in this case that allows you to recover pay for overtime hours worked within 2 years of signing up by completing a consent form and returning it to us. If we can prove the company willfully violated the law, the statute of limitations may be extended to 3 years.
Do I Have To Pay Anything?
You do not have to pay anything to our firm if you join the lawsuit. We are handling this case on a contingency basis. This means we will only be paid if the lawsuit is successful in obtaining relief either through a settlement or a final judgment, and that payment will only come out of that settlement or final judgment.
How Do I Prove I Worked Overtime?
Where the employer does not keep accurate time records, most courts permit the employee to make a good faith estimate of overtime hours. You do not need to have proof of the hours you worked and the court will generally accept a good faith estimate of your hours.
How Long Will This Case Take?
The length of this kind of lawsuit varies from case to case. They typically last one to two years.
Can My Employer Fire Me if I Decide to Join This Case?
The law protects you from retaliation for asserting your rights, and if you suffer retaliation, you may be able to assert additional claims. If you currently work for ETS Oilfield Services, and you feel you are the victim of retaliation for participating in this lawsuit, contact us immediately.
