The Complaint asserts that as a result of the finite set of job tasks that the Field Energy Advisors were required to do on a daily basis, these employees should have allegedly been paid overtime pay for their hours worked in excess of eight (8) in a workday and hours worked in excess of forty (40) in any workweek.
