7

paid overtime, at a rate of time and one half their regular rate, for the
hours they work over 40 in a workweek. All employees, whether they

10
11

are paid hourly or on a piece or flat rate basis are entitled to overtime when

12
13
14

they work over 40 hours.
To resolve a lawsuit brought by the Department of Labor, the United

15
16
17

States District Court entered an Order forbidding UNIFIED
NUTRIMEALS from violating the overtime requirements of the Fair Labor

18

21
22

Standards Act. All employees who work in this establishment can help the
employer not to violate the Court’s Order. If you think you are not being
paid in accordance with the law, call the U.S. Department of Labor,

23

Wage and Hour Division, at [phone] and your name will be kept
confidential.
