Service technicians commonly travel around a particular area or across the country to perform service or repair work. Many services technicians are misclassified as salaried employees and unlawfully not paid overtime compensation. Other repair and service technicians are paid by the job or simply not paid overtime compensation. Whatever the reason, companies continue to violate the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) by failing to pay its field service technicians overtime compensation.

Unpaid Overtime Claims for Service Technicians

The Department of Labor has made clear that service technicians are entitled to overtime compensation for all hours worked in a worked week in excess of 40 hours per week. Many employers pay service technicians by the job and fail to pay time and a half for hours worked in excess of 40 hours in a particular workweek.

Many service technicians are misclassified as independent contractors and denied fair wages and other benefits of employment and tax benefits. Many technicians are not paid travel time for traveling distances to job locations and travel between work sites. Unpaid work time for service technicians commonly include preparing for jobs, training, completing paperwork, logging into computer systems, team meetings, waiting and on call time.
