SHERMAN – A woman alleges she was not paid the appropriate overtime rate while employed as a convenience store clerk.
Karen Cullum, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a complaint on Dec. 14, 2017, in the Sherman Division of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against Tamnine LLC and Ayman Nasser alleging that they violated the Fair Labor Standards Act.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff worked for the defendants as a convenience store clerk at their Seven Points location. She alleges that she regularly worked in excess of 40 hours a week.
The plaintiff holds Tamnine LLC and Nasser responsible because the defendants allegedly paid each of their convenience store clerks on an hourly basis and did not pay them time-and-one-half their regular rate of pay for the hours worked over 40 hours a week.
The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks an order recognizing this case as a collective action, award for all unpaid wages and overtime compensation, liquidated damages, attorney’s fees, expert fees, costs, and expenses and such other relief as to which she may be entitled. She is represented by Chris R. Miltenberger of The Law Office of Chris R. Miltenberger PLLC in Southlake.
