The Tropicana Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, face a lawsuit claiming its security officers have not been paid required overtime wages.

Las Vegas attorney Sharon Nelson filed the lawsuit against the Tropicana. She is trying to make it a Class Action Lawsuit.

“The lone plaintiff in the lawsuit, Antonio Barnes, and other officers have been required to attend off-the-clock security briefings 15 minutes before the start of their shifts. The officers were required to clock in after the briefings, the lawsuit says. The lawsuit says this alleged practice has been going on for at least two years and involves hundreds of current and former officers. The practice caused the officers to work more than 40 hours per week without receiving overtime payments in violation of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, the lawsuit charges.”(Lasvegas Sun)
