Asking for more than $100,000 in unpaid overtime wages, Pam Gellhaus has filed a lawsuit against Wal-Mart, alleging the company violated the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act.

The lawsuit was filed on July 21 in the Lufkin Division of the Eastern District of Texas.

Gellhaus alleges that Wal-Mart violated federal regulations by having its non-exempt hourly employees engage in overtime work without paying the federally required overtime pay.

Although the plaintiff filed the lawsuit individually, she is asking for the court to order the case an "opt-in" class action for all overtime wages due and owing to Wal-Mart employees who are similarly situated.
