This action arises under the laws of the United States. This case is brought as a collective  action under 29 U.S.C. § 216(B). It is believed that the Defendants have employed several  other similarly situated employees like the Plaintiff who have not been paid overtime for  work performed in excess of 40 hours weekly and/or minimum wages as required by the  Fair Labor Standards Act as a result of being paid set weekly salaries regardless of the  hours actually worked from the filing of this complaint back three years.
