Alleging that an employee regularly worked over forty hours per workweek and was not paid time-and-a-half is sufficient to give rise to a plausible claim for relief under the FLSA.

By Eric P. Dama

“Defendant suggests that Plaintiff’s complaint fails because he does not allege the total amount of unpaid wages that he deserves.  An FLSA plaintiff is not, however, required to plead the precise amount of unpaid wages to which he is allegedly entitled.”

Murphy v. Multi-Shot, LLC, 2014 WL 4471538, at *2 (S.D. Tex. Sep. 10, 2014) (Ellison, J.).
