NVR Loan Officers & Processors (Florida Only)
No Company is Too Big to Play Fair.
On March 31, 2021, loan officers and loan processors (“loan employees”) filed a case against NVR, Inc. and NVR Mortgage Finance, Inc. (“NVR” or “Defendants”). They assert claims for unpaid overtime compensation on behalf of themselves and other loan employees across the country.
The Complaint alleges that NVR, which sells and constructs homes under the Ryan Homes, NVHomes and Heartland Homes brands, violated the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) by not paying loan employees for all the overtime hours they worked. The loan employees assert NVR knowingly placed heavy demands on them that required them to work unpaid overtime hours, while discouraging them from recording that time.
Since filing, the Court precluded non-Florida loan employees from joining the Florida action, due to court jurisdictional requirements. As a result, other loan employees from various states filed unpaid overtime actions in Virginia, where NVR is headquartered, for non-Florida loan officers (information here), and for non-Florida loan processors (information here).
Our firm is partnered on this matter with attorneys Gregg I. Shavitz, Paolo Meireles, and Logan A. Pardell of Shavitz Law Group, P.A. in Boca Raton, Florida.
This case is entitled Cossaboom et al v NVR, INC - NVR Loan Officers & Processors (Florida Only), Case No. 9:21-cv-80627 (S.D. Fla.)

Q:Do I Have To Pay Anything?

-
Q:How Do I Prove I Worked Overtime?
A:
If you have records of the hours you worked, please preserve and keep them until we ask you for them. However, you do not need to have records of your work hours to make a claim for your overtime pay. If NVR did not keep accurate time records, most courts will permit you to make a good-faith estimate of your work hours.
