Colorado-based outsourcer Center Partners Inc. has agreed to pay $229,905 in overtime back wages to 1,390 employees to resolve violations of FLSA overtime requirements.
Center Partners was found failed to factor in preliminary shift work, commissions, shift differential pay, flex time, and assorted bonuses when it calculated overtime pay for its employees.
Under the requirement of FLSA, employers should pay covered employees at least the federal minimum wage for all hours worked and time and one-half their regular rate of pay for hours worked over 40 in a week.
Center Partners is specialized in tech support and customer service calls for many companies in different fields.
The FLSA's new overtime regulations are in effect as of August 23, 2004.
