Employee time sheet

Claims brought by former field technicians in the oil and gas industry, who alleged they were wrongly denied overtime over a three-year period, were rejected by a federal jury in Texas.

During a trial that concluded March 10, defense attorneys for Flowco Production Solutions successfully argued the employees were exempted from federal law addressing overtime pay because they were primarily administrative employees.

The lawsuit represented workers in Texas, Colorado, New Mexico and Pennsylvania. The lead plaintiff, Dean Keating, worked for Flowco in Texas and New Mexico in the three years preceding the filing of the lawsuit in May 2020.
