JSET Automated Technologies, LLC (Hourly-Paid, Non-Exempt Employees)

Brown, LLC has filed a lawsuit against JSET Automated Technologies, LLC alleging wage and hour violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act and Ohio wage laws. Filing a lawsuit does not mean the Defendant has been found liable. These allegations remain unproven while the case proceeds through the legal system.

About the Defendant

JSET Automated Technologies, LLC employs hourly-paid, non-exempt employees to perform field, technical, installation, maintenance, support, and related work for its automation, integration, installation, maintenance, and related business operations serving commercial, industrial, and data center clients.

Claims in the Lawsuit

The lawsuit alleges that Defendant violated the FLSA and Ohio law through timekeeping and payroll practices that resulted in hourly-paid, non-exempt employees being paid for fewer hours than they actually worked.

It alleges that these practices affected work performed before scheduled shifts, after scheduled shifts, and during other compensable time that should have been paid. The complaint further alleges that, in some workweeks, employees were not paid all straight-time wages owed for their work. The lawsuit also alleges that, in workweeks when employees worked more than forty hours, JSET failed to pay overtime at the required premium rate for all overtime hours worked.

It further alleges that JSET automatically deducted a 30-minute meal period from employees’ hours each day, even though employees sometimes worked through meal periods or had meal periods interrupted or missed. According to the complaint, employees were discouraged from seeking corrections, and those automatic deductions often remained in place even when the time should have been paid.
