This picture was taken after a successful overtime trial in Houston Federal Court. Not only did Brad and Steven’s employer steal time from them, he helpfully left a paper trail showing not only the actual time they worked, but also the reduced time that he turned into payroll, where he had magically erased all hours over 40.
One of the “smoking gun” exhibits in Brad and Steven’s trial. This was a timesheet before the employer, Fernando Chapa of Full Service Construction, Inc., reduced Brad’s hours to cheat him out of overtime. Brad took this exhibit home with him as a souvenir.
