Overtime Law Solution
When we reviewed Rick's personnel records, the sleight of hand was obvious and easy to follow. There was also no paper trail showing he had ever done any work for the second company. In fact, his testimony was clear that they did not change jobs or job sites during the week, and that all of his work was for the first company.
We were able to obtain a settlement for Rick that compensated him appropriately for his overtime hours.

Postscript
In addition to compensating Rick for his hard-worked hours, the settlement hopefully served as a lesson to the employer to stop trying to cheat the overtime laws.
If you are in a similar situation, remember that it always is harder to get away with these things than people think. If you consult with an employment lawyer, they should be able to determine whether you are owed additional pay and whether your employer is trying to lay a fake paper trail to avoid overtime obligations.
