On February 21, 2007, employees of S.C.C.P Painting Contractors Inc. filed this class action lawsuit against it under the Fair Labor Standards Act (29 U.S.C. §§ 201-219), the Maryland Wage and Hour Law, the Maryland Wage Payment and Collection Law, the D.C. Minimum Wage Law, the D.C. payment and Collection of Wages Law, and the Maryland and District of Columbia Common Law in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland. Plaintiffs alleged that S.C.C.P. (1) failed to pay wages for work performed, (2) failed to pay for work that employers were required to perform "off the clock", (3) failed to pay employees overtime compensation, (4) and unlawfully deducted amounts from their employee's paychecks. Plaintiffs were represented by the Washington Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs and sought injunctive and monetary relief in the form of reimbursement for all withheld and unpaid wages.

The Court (Judge Catherine C. Blake) conditionally certified a class of "all individuals who are or have been employed by Defendants as non-exempt, hourly-paid employees for the three years immediately prior to the date of conditional certification" on February 26, 2008. 2008 WL 554114.

On December 16, 2008, the Court granted Plaintiffs' Motion for Partial Summary Judgment, holding that Plaintiffs were covered FLSA employees when they worked for Defendant, and that as a result Defendant would be liable to Plaintiffs for underpayment of overtime wages. 589 F. Supp. 2d 569.

On March 19, 2009, the Court entered a consent decree awarding Plaintiffs a total of $200,000.

This case is closed.
