SPO Networks, Inc. and two individual defendants have been named in a proposed collective and class action filed by a former employee who claims he was not paid proper overtime wages.

The plaintiff, who was hired at the defendants’ now-dissolved company, USA Metal Recycling, claims he regularly worked in excess of 40 hours each week processing scrap metal out of a Lowell, Arkansas facility. The case argues that the plaintiff and other non-office employees were improperly paid at their straight-time rates, instead of premium time-and-a-half rates, for overtime work. According to the suit, in February 2017, an individual defendant sold her interest in the company to SPO Networks. Following the purchase, the case says the plaintiff and other employees were subject to the same unlawful pay policies.
