Zhao Luzho has filed a lawsuit against his employer, Success International Corp., alleging violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act, and the Commonwealth Minimum Wage and Hour Act because he was allegedly not paid overtime.<\/p>\n

As relief, Zhao wants the court to order the defendants to pay him overtime compensation for all the hours he worked in excess of 40 hours in each work week.<\/p>\n

In addition, Zhao is also asking the court to grant him liquidated damages and reasonable attorneys\u2019 fees and costs.<\/p>\n

According to court documents, Zhao was hired at Success International back in June 2020 as a construction worker where he performed general construction duties.<\/p>\n
