Violation Description: Division investigators determined National Freight Inc. violated the Fair Labor Standards Act when it wrongly classified dispatchers and yard spotters as exempt from the law's overtime requirements, and failed to pay the legally required wages. The company paid dispatchers flat salaries, regardless of the number of hours they worked, creating overtime violations when they worked more than 40 hours in a week. NFI paid yard spotters by the hour, but failed to pay overtime when legally required. The division also found the global service provider -- based in Cherry Hill and doing business as NFI -- failed to maintain payroll records required by law.
