Web Hosting Provider Data Return Subject of Class Action
March 3, 2008 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Web hosting provider Data Return LLC is the subject of a lawsuit brought about by the company's employees, it was reported recently. The class action lawsuit alleges the company failed to pay staff overtime for their services.
The lawsuit states that Data Return's staff were employed on a 40-hours-a-week basis, but that the company policy required them to be 'on call' 24 hours a day. The lawsuit further suggests that staff were made to carry Blackberries and respond to emails and telephone calls on an ongoing basis. The complaints against the company suggested its actions did not consider its staff’s need for sleep and that lack of sleep had caused some staff members' illness.
An Irving, Texas-based web host, Data Return LLC was purchased by Terremark around May last year. The purchase of the company from Saratoga Partners cost the company $85 million. Data Return had around 250 customers located throughout the United States at the time of purchase. Its customers included H&R Block, BMW North America, HP and LEGO.
