Hall Tank Company (Hourly-Paid Manufacturing and Production Employees)

Brown, LLC has filed a lawsuit against The Hall Group, Inc. and Hall Tank Company, LLC (“Defendants”) alleging wage and hour violations under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and Arkansas law. Filing a lawsuit does not mean Defendants have been found liable. These allegations remain unproven while the case proceeds through the legal system.

About the Defendants

According to the complaint, Defendants operate manufacturing and fabrication facilities in North Little Rock, Arkansas, where they produce industrial products, including fabricated tanks and related components.

Claims in the Lawsuit

The complaint alleges that Defendants maintained timekeeping and payroll practices that credited employees based, in whole or in part, on scheduled shifts rather than all time actually worked and recorded. According to the complaint, these alleged practices resulted in employees not being paid for all compensable time worked, including certain pre-shift and post-shift work.

The complaint further alleges that Defendants used rounding, time-editing, time-shaving, or similar practices that reduced compensable time credited for payroll. The lawsuit also alleges that Defendants shifted, deferred, or “banked” certain hours worked in overtime weeks and later paid some of those hours at straight-time rates rather than overtime premium rates.

The lawsuit brings a federal claim under the Fair Labor Standards Act for alleged failure to pay overtime wages to Plaintiff and similarly situated employees who worked more than forty hours in a workweek.

The lawsuit also brings Arkansas Minimum Wage Act claims for alleged failure to pay overtime wages and alleged failure to pay wages for all hours worked.

What Pay Practices Does the Lawsuit Challenge?

The lawsuit challenges alleged scheduled-shift-based payment practices, non-neutral rounding, time shaving, time edits, manual adjustments, restrictions on early clock-ins and late clock-outs, banking of overtime hours, shifting or deferring overtime hours to later pay periods, and paying certain overtime hours at straight-time rates rather than the required overtime premium.
