HOUSTON – A former employee at a Pearland area imaging center is claiming he was not compensated for overtime.
David Daya filed a complaint on Aug. 25 in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Texas Houston Division against Sky MRI & Diagnostics LLC, Badshah Management LLC and Akbar Ali, alleging violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and breach of contract.
According to the complaint, Daya was employed by Sky MRI & Diagnostics as an account and business development representative from Aug. 7, 2017, through Nov. 15, 2018, at its Pearland location. He alleged that he "routinely" worked more than 40 hours per week and "typically" worked from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Daya claimed he was paid $1,750 every two weeks along with $25 in commissions for every MRI he obtained for the company but did not receive overtime pay.
He also alleged that during the last two months of working for Sky MRI, he did not receive any "pay or commissions that were due to him."
Daya claimed Sky MRI "willfully and purposely" violated the FLSA by not compensating him for overtime and by not keeping and maintaining "accurate" payroll records.
Daya seeks monetary relief, trial by jury, interest and all other just relief. He is represented by Attorney Alar Ali Ahmed PC in Houston.
