U.S. District Judge Jane Boyle recently threw out Native Oilfield Services’ proposed roadblock against a jury’s $3.7 million verdict awarded to former company drivers for disputed overtime wages.
The Dallas federal judge held that Native Oilfield was not exempt from providing overtime payments under the Fair Labor Standards Act to its employees. In addition, the judge ruled that the unpaid-hours calculations made by the jury were fair. The case, Olibas v. Native Oilfield Services, was originally filed in September 2011.
