We identify wage violations that often go unnoticed in the line and utility locating industry.

Pre-Shift & Post-Shift Work

Time spent reviewing tickets, loading equipment, calibrating tools, documenting locates, and closing out jobs may be compensable.

Travel & Break Time

Driving between job sites, responding to urgent tickets, and missed or interrupted meal breaks may qualify as paid time.

Overtime & Bonus Pay

Overtime rates must be calculated correctly, and non-discretionary bonuses should be included in your regular rate of pay.
