Central Florida Foreclosure Mill Required Staff To Work "Off The Clock," Says Ex-Employee In Lawsuit

In Tampa, Florida, The Tampa Tribune reports:

• A former employee of a major foreclosure law firm in Tampa says she and other employees were forced to work "off the clock" to keep up with a flood of cases over the past three years. Denise Vasquez has filed a lawsuit and is asking for a jury trial in her case against Florida Default Law Group. She also names her supervisor, Timothy Hutton, in the case.

• Vasquez says employees were regularly allowed five hours per week of overtime but then were routinely required to work extra hours. "Thousands of emails from all over the country would come in every day requiring action in the Florida Courts," the suit says. A lawyer for Florida Default was not available for comment. The suit was originally filed in Hillsborough County but was transferred to federal court at the request of Florida Default.
