Alder Holdings Wage Lawsuit – Utah Field Technicians

A wage and hour lawsuit has been filed against Alder Holdings, LLC, which is based in Orem, Utah. The case focuses on Field Service Technicians who were treated as independent contractors, but may have worked long hours without overtime pay. This case is being brought as a collective action, which means eligible workers can choose to join and seek unpaid wages.

Who May Be Eligible to Join

We are currently talking to technicians who worked for Alder Holdings.

You may qualify if your experience looked something like this:

• You worked as a Field Service Technician or did installation work
• You were treated as an independent contractor
• You regularly worked more than 40 hours in a week
• You were paid per job, not hourly
• You were assigned jobs or schedules by the company
• You were not paid overtime, even during long weeks

A lot of workers in this role are not sure how they were supposed to be classified. That’s normal. We can help sort that out.

Locations Under Review

The case includes work connected to Alder’s Utah operations, including:

Orem Headquarters
450 North 1500 West, Orem, Utah 84057

Many technicians traveled for jobs, sometimes across state lines, but were still working under the same system managed out of Utah. 

Your Rights Under the Law

Even if a company calls someone an independent contractor, that does not automatically make it correct under the law.

What matters is how the work functions day to day. If the company controls the work, assigns jobs, and relies on you as part of its business, you may legally be considered an employee.

If that is the case, you may be entitled to overtime pay when you work more than 40 hours in a week.

You may also be entitled to recover unpaid wages going back up to three years, along with additional damages.

What Is a Collective Action?

This case is not a traditional class action. It is a collective action under federal law. In a collective action, nothing happens automatically. If you want to be part of the case, you have to affirmatively join it vs a class action, people are usually included automatically unless they opt out.

That usually starts with a conversation. If it looks like you qualify, there is a simple form that allows you to participate.

The reason these cases are structured this way is because workers often have very similar experiences, but still need to choose whether they want to be involved.

If you worked as a Field Service Technician for Alder Holdings and had worked over 40 hours without overtime, you may be able to join this case. We can walk you through it and answer your questions.
