Former Amazon Customer Service Representative Sues the Company for Alleged Missed Overtime Pay

A former customer service associate at Amazon has accused the company of failing to pay overtime wages, according to a lawsuit filed this month in Washington.

Wyeth Hall, who lives in Oklahoma and worked remotely for Amazon for eight months in 2020, said the company didn’t pay him for all the hours he worked — including the minutes spent booting up his computer and other applications every day.

Hall also accused the company of failing to keep accurate records of the hours he worked and the wages he was owed. He filed a collective action complaint against the company in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington last week. The complaint is on behalf of current and former customer service associates who worked virtually for Amazon in the U.S. in the last three years.
