Van Tassel-Proctor, Inc. and its owner are defendants in a proposed class and collective action in which the plaintiff claims he was misclassified as exempt from the overtime requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

The plaintiff claims he regularly worked over 40 hours per week as a salaried construction worker for the defendants. The case argues that the man had no authority over the business or other employees and therefore should have been classified as a non-exempt employee entitled to time-and-a-half overtime pay.
