On March 8, 2018, we along with our co-counsel, The Law Offices of Peter T. Nicholl in Baltimore, MD, filed a lawsuit on behalf of Field Investigators, Background Investigators, and others in a similar position against Keypoint Government Solutions, Inc. The Complaint alleges that Keypoint failed to pay its Investigators proper overtime compensation when they worked over forty (40) hours in a workweek. The Complaint also alleges that Investigators regularly worked over forty (40) hours each workweek to meet Keypoint’s production requirements, and that Keypoint failed to maintain accurate record of the hours Investigators worked. Plaintiff seeks to recover unpaid overtime compensation, liquidated damages, and other statutorily-permitted relief for herself and other Investigators.
This case is entitled Brayman v. Keypoint Government Solutions, Inc., Court File No. 1:18-cv-0050

Q:Do I Have To Pay Anything?
A:
You do not have to pay anything to our firm if you join the lawsuit. We are handling this case on a contingency basis.

Q:How Do I Prove I Worked Overtime?
A:
If you do have records, please preserve and keep them until we ask you for them, but you do not need to have records of your work hours to participate in this case. If Keypoint did not keep accurate time records, most courts will permit you to make a “good faith estimate” of your work hours. We will seek any records the company may have of your hours worked through this lawsuit.

Q:What About Retaliation?

It is against the law for an employer to retaliate against a person for joining a lawsuit to reclaim unpaid wages. If you suffer retaliation, you may have additional claims against your employer.
