The lawsuit intends to represent hourly employees that were paid a per diem and who routinely worked over 40 hours per week within the last three years to try and recover wages under the Fair Labor Standard Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hourly employees that may be affected include frac operators and other similarly situated workers who were paid an hourly rate plus a per diem amount. ProPetro&nbsp;failed to include all remuneration, such as the \u201cper diem\u201d pay, as required by the FLSA when calculating the workers&#8217; regular rate of pay. This, in turn, resulted in hourly per diem employees not being paid all the overtime premium compensation owed.&nbsp;This lawsuit seeks to recover all damages available under the FLSA including back wages, liquidated damages, legal fees, costs, and post-judgment interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The oil and gas industry, like many other industries, unfortunately use many tactics to avoid paying their employees their rightfully owed wages. Not correctly calculating additional wages into their overtime pay rate is just one of them. If you or anyone you know has worked for ProPetro services in the last three years, they may be eligible to join this lawsuit to try to recover wages.
