Dynasty Wireline Services, LLC Wage and Hour Lawsuit

Fitapelli & Schaffer, LLP, alongside Bruckner Burch PLLC, filed a collective action for unpaid wages against Dynasty Wireline Services, LLC (“Dynasty Wireline”), a leading provider of wireline services in the oil and gas industry. This lawsuit seeks to recover overtime compensation for similarly situated salaried completion managers, wireline engineers, and similar positions (collectively “Completion Managers”) who have worked for Dynasty Wireline in the United States.

Completion Managers typically work at least twelve-hour shifts, seven days a week, for weeks at a time, in some of the harshest working conditions. To avoid paying overtime for hours worked beyond 40 per workweek, Dynasty Wireline uniformly misclassified Completion Managers as exempt from the overtime provisions of the FLSA and corresponding state wage and hour laws, including the New Mexico Minimum Wage Act. Completion Managers have non-exempt primary duties involving operating truck equipment, rigging up and rigging down well sites, and performing pump downs, and they cannot hire or fire employees or take part in interviews.

If you are a current or former case hole completion managers, wireline engineer, or have held a similar position that was paid with a salary and/or job bonuses working for Dynasty Wireline during the last three years, you may be eligible to join this matter.
