Alleging he was not paid enough for overtime doing document review, a contract attorney employed on a temporary basis last summer by Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan sued both the firm and legal staffing agency Providus in Manhattan federal court on March 4.
William Henig alleges in his complaint that Quinn Emanuel and Providus violated overtime pay requirements laid out in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Henig, who filed the suit as a potential class action, claims he was placed with Quinn Emanuel by Providus in a temporary assignment that started in mid-August 2012 and lasted about six weeks. Henig spent that time "review[ing] documents for Quinn Emanuel relating to pending litigation," according to the complaint.
